Procedure—download the necessary rpm’s.  Install the system update the up2date then update your system.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Kishfy Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 1:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ISO Updates?   Well you can’t really get it from the RHN (at least not with via up2date). Basically as soon as you install a RedHat distro you have to manually download and install an update just to connect to RHN. That’s fairly inconvenient and something that I would expect from a less mature distro. I think it would warrant an ISO update, at least for 9.   -----Original Message----- From: Otto Haliburton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ISO Updates?   I don’t mean to be nasty, but do you really think they would go to the expense of updating the iso’s  to add a fix that you can get from the rhn?   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Kishfy Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 12:41 PM To: Redhat General List Subject: ISO Updates?   Has RedHat updated their ISO’s to include the new SSL cert so that you don’t have to add it to new installations manually?
