Re: Redhat Network, apt, up2date, urpmi etc

Yup, if ur on a redhat system ;) Which of course, all of you who are discussing this are. I was suggesting this for other people using RPM based distro's who want to stay up to date easily as well.

Just a thought.

yes that is, of course possible. but it is more convenient to type

up2date --update

and have it done for you. especially if you have a swag of machines to

What's the problem with rpm -Fvh *rpm??
Doesn't this do the same thing??

Use an ftp client to get the updates, compare directories etc....

Just find a mirror, get the updates and voila, ur updated....
