Please tell us what it is you're trying to do. Why do you not want to upgrade to update 6? I believe that the definition of update 6 is a completely set of tested updates. Unless you install them all, your system is not at update 6. However, you could just update redhat-release, your system would say it's at update 6, but you wouldn't be. > Other than the obvious update to the /etc/redhat-version file, what > dictates the version change? Red Hat tests *all* the packages at the same time in a packaged update. In my opinion, the concept of an update is rather strange anyway. You're typically after specific funtionality, not some made-up number. You either have version x of the specific package or you don't. You may say you want a specific kernel fix, but you could update the kernel in many cases without updating anything else. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
