I was able to obtain the RPMs for specific RHEL Update levels. To do
that I used our Red Hat Network subscription service. Here's how:
1) Log on to the RHN website at this URL
https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/download_isos_full.pxt
2) The resulting web page contains sections for each RHEL Update level.
Select one - in this case:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 3 for x86)
3) The next page has download links for ISOs for RHEL3u3 installation
CDs.
This is even better than I expected. I thought I'd have to download
just the Update 3 RPM files, then merge them with the contents of the
initial RHEL 3 release CDs. But this way, I was able to download complete
RHEL3u3 CDs and them burn them directly to CDRs.

Hello:
We are in the process of setting up our first cluster, using OSCAR 4.1
and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
The OSCAR installation manual says that only Updates 2 and 3 of RHEL 3 are
supported, not Update 4. But, using the "up2date" service, we are
currently getting Update 5 on our other RHEL 3 systems.
As we understand the process, we need to have updated the "head" node
to the Update level we want to run, and populated the /tftpboot/rpm/
directory with the RPM files from that Update level, before proceeding
with the installation of client nodes. But, so far, we've been unable
to find a way to obtain a specific Update version, such as Update 3,
or even a definition of exactly what RPM packages comprise a particular
Update version.
Can anyone help us with this problem?
