Update in RHEL 5
 

Hi, I have to post this so I can post the next post.

I have an active subscription with redhat and an rhn account. I'm not a total newbie when it comes to linux. I don't know enough and what I do know makes me dangerous to my computers functionality! Here's the problem. I like redhat. It recognizes all my hardware and gives me the least headaches that way. I love ubuntu because it has the most toys. I receantly went back to redhat because I was having problems in ubuntu with modems, dvd drives, and a bunch of other stuff. I may dual boot to Mint, but I'll worry about that later. I downloaded apt and synaptic from htp:/dag.wieers.com/rpm/. I followed all their dircetions correctly. The problem I'm having with them is that it was a pain in the butt to get apt and synaptic for one. It kept downloading maybe 2 to 5% of the file, then it would fail. I eventually got it all downloaded, but this won't work for apt/synaptic if I want to download larger programs and their dependencies. I think this may have also effected my ability to get updates from the official Redhat site. Thanks in advance. These are the errors I get in synaptic.
