Everything is done via the RHN and/or up2date. That is just how RHEL works ... they do not have repo trees that are browse-able. up2date can do installs, you can also install via RHN. If the person does not have a valid RHN subscription then there is no way to install packages ... unless they have never done updates, then system-config-packages can be used. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
