You could go to this site:- http://shrike.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=344 And download APT & Synaptic (GUI) and keep RH9 updated this way too. Plus there are other files which are not in the distro which you can update too.

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.
