Actually, with Yam you can download updates from RHN just as you can do with up2date. It has some functionality to download for different distributions/architectures and provide those centrally inside a company's network. Unfortunately, this functionality is only checked into subversion, but will soon be available in Yam 0.8.0. For more information about what you can do, check out: http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/tools/yam/README.rhn Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag@xxxxxxxxxx, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
