[plug] FYI

[Jon Miller]

Just thought those of us that are still on RH6.2 might be interested in the following regard rpm.

From:
Chapter 7. Using Red Hat Network with Red Hat Linux 6.2
  at
http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHNetwork/ref-guide/rhn-on-62.html
Excerpt: NOTE the 6th rpm below:
---
3.Download the following packages in the new rhnpackages directory: (You
might need hold down the [Shift] key and then left-click on
     the filename to save it or right-click the file and choose Save.)
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/up2date-2.1.7-0.6.x.i386.rpm
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/python-xmlrpc-1.2.1-0.6.x.i386.rpm
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/python-1.5.2-27.6.x.i386.rpm
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/rhn_register-1.0.2-0.6.x.noarch.rpm
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/openssl-0.9.5a-2.6.x.i386.rpm
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/rpm-4.0.1-0.6x.i386.rpm
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/rpm-python-4.0.1-0.6x.i386.rpm
     If you want to use the graphical versions of the Red Hat Network
Registration Client and the Red Hat Update Agent, you will also need
     the following packages. If you are not running the X Window System,
do not download these packages:
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/up2date-gnome-2.1.7-0.6.x.i386.rpm
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/rhn_register-gnome-1.0.2-0.6.x.noarch.rpm
http://www.redhat.com/network/service/RHL_62/RPMS/usermode-1.37-1.6.src.rpm

  4.Go back to the shell prompt in the rhnpackages directory (you must
still be root) and execute the command rpm -Uvh * to upgrade
     the exist Red Hat Update Agent to the version that works with Red Hat
Network. The Red Hat Network Registration Client will also be
     installed with this command along with other packages your system
needs to run the Red Hat Network programs.
