More or less anyway. Question for the official Red Hat folks who browse the list from time to time. I normally run up2date to keep my system updated, but between the kernel update and the beta release it's been some days since I was able to run it. (I'm using a demo account right now as health reasons won't allow me to afford a subscription at this time) I'm downloading the latest errata from my friendly neighborhood mirror and will copy it to /var/spool/up2date once I get it all here. I know up2date will gladly digest it when done that way, but what if up2date won't run due to server load ?? If I install the update manually, will up2date recognize that they've been installed without "going through the motions" ?? Just curious.
