Hi,

any way?
you could try:
cd /dir/with/rpms
rpm -ivh kernel-2* (if you have downloaded and wish to update kernels)
rpm -Fvh *.rpm (which will only upgrade the packages you already have installed).
the easiest way by far would have been (originally) to have installed the new updates via RHN with up2date -uf
How would one do this with RH 9 since RHN for RH 9 is past EOL? I.e., install fresh RH 9 - then how to apply all the applicable updated rpms in the RH 9 ftp updates directory?
you can also manage this with yum and apt4rpm - the fedoralegacy project http://www.fedoralegacy.org has complete destructions for setting this up.
yum and apt are available from many places but the main sources I tend to use are
http://freshrpms.net
http://dag.wieers.com
both apt and yum manage dependencies for you.
AFAICT in fedora core 2 up2date just runs yum in the background.

if you are installing updated versions of pkgs with new dependencies you may have to find the deps as well. I tend to keep an install tree on my server under /var/ftp/pub and share it by nfs.
