Yes. You need to configure Redhat Network Updater. There is an option to keep downloaded rpm in var spool up2date. Once checked copies will be kept along with hdr files.

All I see is bunch of .hdr files for the packages I upgraded or installed. Is there any special parameter I need to use with up2date to save the rpms. Os there any other utility that can converts .hdr files in rpms. -Jai -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Whitney Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 11:05 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Installing a .hdr file Jai, Absolutely. As long as you saved the rpms in /var/spool/up2date, you can burn them to CD or transfer them however you like to another system and then run the "rpm -Uvh" command on the files. This will update those systems too. Paul Whitney On Thu, 2008-05-15 at 10:55 -0700, Jai Rangi wrote: > All, > > I use up2date on Redhat ES to install packages from RedHat.
