Hi all,

i installed linux 7.3, i want to know how can i make the up2date work..

thanks.

you need a trial registration at the redhat network - at least this is the way it was as i used it before switching to debian. i don't know if RHN is also trial still so it might expire after 1 year.

try rhn_register at the console and afterwards up2date --update.

basically. go to red hat's site and click the redhat network link. download all the packages for redhat 7.3 and then install those packages. look at the thread for the exact commands and how to.
