Brandon, Thank you for your kind reply. Just take a look at a look into thre Bugzilla for details. Some are inaccessable (due to an internal restriction I guess) but others give quite some information. Thanks again. Since most of this enhancement is done on server-side, it is, in my humble opinion, that hosted clients with up-to-date yum-* and rhn-* packages installed along with Location-Aware Updates feature turned on through web UI in RHN would benefit from this. Am I on the right track? -- Sincerely, Jyo _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list rhelv5-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
