If you had a host that could be used as a yum depot I would copy the patches to that host and create a local_mirror.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d .
The other option beside reading a CD/DVD is to create the repo on a portable drive. The following link gives a overview on how to create a yum repo. http://linuxtechsupport.blogspot.com/2008/06/configuring-yum-in-rhel5.html My preferred way is via the network or portable hard drive. It's allot faster than waiting for that CD/DVD drive to spin up and read. --mmiller On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 2:45 AM, k41zen Me <[email protected]> wrote: > I've run a Nessus patch audit on a Red Hat Enterprise 5.2 server and it tells > me there 161 missing patches.
