RHEL 5.1: using RHN with YUM

[Venkata Vuppala]

Once you have the internet connection from the server.
Use rhn_reg ( Use tab to see the correct command )
and it will give the options to be used.
once this command is succesfully executed then you can use
yum commands.
 
Cheers,
Venkata Vuppala

if you successfully registered your server (you should have username and
password in RHN), you should be able to see the server on RHN site.

that's not necessary. All you need is to run #yum update.
