Installing a .hdr file

[Paul Whitney]

Yes. You need to configure Redhat Network Updater. There is an option to keep downloaded rpm in var spool up2date. Once checked copies will be kept along with hdr files.

Paul,
Thanks for your reply, I don't see rpm files in that directory. All I
see is bunch of .hdr files for the packages I upgraded or installed. Is
there any special parameter I need to use with up2date to save the rpms.
Os there any other utility that can converts .hdr files in rpms.

Jai,

Absolutely. As long as you saved the rpms in /var/spool/up2date, you can
burn them to CD or transfer them however you like to another system and
then run the "rpm -Uvh" command on the files. This will update those
systems too.
