Do you want to keep the same kernel as 5.1, or you want to keep the same number 
listed in /etc/redhat-release?

I'm a little confused exactly what you are looking for? Red Hat versions aren't 
the same as going from XP to Vista. If you keep updating your machine (not 
upgrading) , you will stay with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, it'll just slowly 
increment the .0 to .1 to .2

 Most likely if your machines are registered with RHN right now and have been 
updating then you are likely already running 5.2 stuff (except maybe without an 
updated kernel). If you don't do a 'pull' (running yum update) on the client, 
and just let the rhn_check keep the machine up to date, then you will stay with 
your current kernel (likely 5.1).  Some other packages that depend on the 
updated kernel will not update correctly though.

Subject: [rhelv5-list] Dont want to upgrade to 5.2

Hi,

We use yum to manage our distribution.  But, we want to stay with this version 
and not to upgrade to 5.2.  However, we want also the security update for the 
5.1 version.  What is the best way to keep the 5.1 version and install new 
packages?

thanks

Dominique
