up2date -d should download anything shown by up2date -l. Just for grins and giggles, try up2date -p to update the package list with rhn, then try the up2date -l to see what packages are available. Then try up2date --dry-run to see what all is actually going to be downloaded, then try up2date -d to see if it is all actually downloaded. And, as always, man up2date is your friend. :) Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
