You're on to something, Vinny. The checksig failed, however I tried using your ftp link, editing it for version 7.2, but it wouldn't work. Anyone know the correct ftp path to download 7.2 updates?
If you edited the link, it should look like:
rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/i386/up2date*
If all you get is a command-prompt back, you may have to use http, which does not support globing (the wildcard, *). In that case, you can either try to install the exact files by specifying the full path to each:
#rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/i386/up2date-2.8.40-2.7.2.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/i386/rhn_register-2.8.27-1.7.2.i386.rpm
(above all on one line)
Or, you can download the rpms individually from the RedHat system using a text browser such as "lynx" or "links", or use the file retrieval utility "wget". I suggest getting to know wget. It is your friend. With a simple:
#wget ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/i386/up2date-gnome-2.8.40-2.7.2.i386.rpm
and
#wget ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/i386/rhn_register-2.8.27-1.7.2.i386.rpm
You should retrieve the files quite easily. Do a --checksig on them to be sure, and if all went well, install them.
Good luck!
Vinny
