Anyone can advise me? Im new to linux. tks in advance.

stitch_n_milo,

What distribution of Redhat Linux are you using? Example: RH9, RH8, Fedora Core 1 or 2 beta?

The certificates that Redhat use I believe are Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) (correct me if I'm wrong Redhat Guru's).

Redhat used this to initiate a secure form of transmission when transferring data from the Redhat update server to your computer.

However, this service is going away for the Redhat project and is now being replaced by Fedora Core ( http://fedora.redhat.com/about/ ) Thus the reason I asked for your distribution.

Im using RH9

I would consider moving on to Fedora Core or keeping up with the security updates manually. If it were me, I would move on to Fedora Core.

Thanks for your help. i will try it out.

i have try out this website that you gave to me. download some files... i didnt know whether the installation is did it in a correct way.


[root@cm11 user111]# md5sum yum-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
77624dfe1334b1992d3efa95437ddbb5 yum-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm


im a newbie..trying out redhat....

I think you can upgrade from RH9 to Fedora by booting from the cd's but I'm not sure. It's one of those Red Hat specific things and not so much Linux specific. Again I would recommend a complete reinstall with Fedora.

From your post it looks like you performed a security check with the checksum...what are you exactly asking?

slappy

okie... i manage to update the files i want. all i want to know.. is there any auto updating program for me to use to update my rh9? regard to my 1st posting here.

bump

Apt4RPM and Yum.
