Hi !!
I need to update my red hat 8 ( like runing http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) for windows.

I want to recive the latest foxes and patches for my machine.

how I do this ?

thanks

Get ATP4RPM or yum. Then, depending on which one you got, run either

apt-get dist-update (I think)

or

yum update

Register your system (as many times as possible) using up2date with RedHat, and download packages.

Or download from www.rhn.redhat.com (go to errata and click 'all'). I just discovered this, as theres meant to be no errata for my System...

Also to mention, Redhat will be stopping support and updates Redhat 8 and any others before this in the coming months. And Redhat 9 will have support ending in April of 2004.

You'll have to find alternatives to updating at this time most likely is what I would suggest. Or just update what you actually use on your box, manually, etc.

If you not running a particular service, why upgrade it? You can probably save more time and resources by only updating what your really using on your machine instead of having some service install everything, etc.

Which is exactly why I suggested updating from one of the public repositories, instead of using up2date, or anything else provided by rhn. You will just have to change over come april 2004, so you may as well do it straight away.
