Hi All,

Im new with this linux and still want to learn, Im using Red Hat Linux 9 and need help on how to get latest bash rpm (shellshock issue), my problem is my computer not connected to Internet and i want to install manually the RPM package into this machine. Im trying to find any latest package for my RHL 9, but i didnt find it, current bash using "bash-2.05b-20.1386.rpm .. Please advice where i can download latest bash file that could match with my machine..

You will not find an official RPM for that, I think. But if your computer is not connected to the internet then it is probably not very important to update due to shellshock.

That is an almost 12 year old version and long ago unsupported.

As you say that you are new to Linux, I would suggest that you start with a more recent distro. RedHat is now by subscription so I would suggest CentOS as the free clone (nearly) would be a better choice.

the very OLD and very unsupported RH9 will not even install on new hardware

think of it as Windows98
just try to put win98 on a new i7 cpu 64 bit laptop
