Update RH9

ElectroLinux · 03-24-2004, 07:48 PM

I downloaded the 3 CDs for redhat9.

1) What is the differences between shrike-i386-disc1.iso and shrike-SRPMS-disc1.iso?

2) Is there an easy way to update RH9 other than the web update thing that makes you register? If i register...does it make me pay?

3)I read the kernel update post...but it's a little outdated...is there a newer post about updating RH9? Even better, is there a really easy way to update the kernel?

Thanks!

1. don't know
2. don't know but inmy case, I ditched RH and went with another distro that doesn't make me register.
"yes" for the 2nd PC on. The 1st PC is free as far as I know.
3. I think you can download kernel source from any major FTP servers...

ElectroLinux,
SRPMS-disc1.iso are the source files, you want the shrike-i386-disc1.iso
You can always use "apt" to download and update your apps.

fizazz88, I know you are trying to help, but some of your answers are less than helpfull. Please do not try to bump up your post count.

Thanks twilli227 for the info. Isn't apt for Suse? and what exactly does it update? the kernel?
