I installed a RH 6.1 box and upgraded the kernel and modules stuff to 6.2 by
following the Kernel update howto. The system is working fine. I have a
couple of RPMS installed that I would like to keep up to date. I have been
unable to get autorpm to ever compelte successfully! It seems that the FTP
sites that it checks are very slow and after going through some RPMS,
autorpm bombs.
Has anyone gottent autorpm to work consistently? Are there any other solid
ways to keep a RH 6.2 box up to date? I noticed that even though I upgraded
my kernel and modules to the 6.2 versions, autorpm still went looking under
the 6.1 directory on the ftp sites from which it gets it's updates. I
FTP'ed to ftp.redhat.com and found that the number of RPMs is much greater
under the 6.1 directory than it is under the 6.2 directory. From which
directory on ftp.redhat.com should I be updating from?
I did purchase RH 6.1 and have access to up2date but I do not want to run
netscape on my RH box. Also I have an account on priority.redhat.com but I
cannot figure out how to give my credentials to autorpm!
This is starting to be frustrating. Coming from a FreeBSD world I think I
got spoiled with the cvsup mechanism and the fast and responsive
ftp.freebsd.org!!!
Thanks in advance for any help,
