Good. For the updates: 1) the little "tick" only checks for available updates based on your system configuration, it doesn't update. If you prefer, you can run updates every night, I prefer not. To initiate updates, you have to click on the "tick", and the rest is more or less straight forward. 2) you receive only email advisories if you have chosen so, during the rhn registration. You can change it on RHN. Cheers, Michael -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
