A) Downlaod the ISO of RHEL3 U7 from RHN B) Mount the ISOs in a local directory on the system, for instance: # mount iso_filename /mnt/ISO -o loop C) Copy all the RPMs from the /mnt/ISO/RedHat/RPMS to /var/spool/up2date directory, for instance: # cp /mnt/ISO/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm /var/spool/up2date D) Repeat the steps A and B for the remaining ISOs. E) Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, comment the line: # up2date default Uncomment and modify the last line to look similar as: dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/up2date/ and save the file. F) Now, up2date the system which will receive all the updates from the '/var/spool/up2date' directory. # up2date -u
This would update your system to where U7 began. Out of curiosity, is it possible to also acquire and install all the subsequent pre-U8 errata and updates that Red Hat released after the U7 ISOs were released?
