Take a look at autorpm (www.autorpm.org). If you install it it will check the Red Hat updates mirrors nightly and notify root of updates but will not install them (you can of course change to whom the email goes). If you change two lines in the /etc/autorpm.d/redhat-updates.conf it will automatically download AND update your system for you. It will try to get updates from a large pool of ftp sites and over time figure out which ones work best (and are the fastest) score those higher and use them in the future. You can also use it in interactive mode where it will install rpms and follow dependencies automatically (which is one of the things that people who run Debian like, but now you don't have to be two years behind current state of the art ;-). cool stuff. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
