[rhn-users] Update software through up2date - Problems

[Alfred Hovdestad]

You can use up2date to install new applications if you are registered 
with RHN.  If you want to install tcl after the initial installation and 
RHN registration, simply enter the command

up2date tcl

and up2date will resolve all of the dependencies and install all needed 
packages.  I once found that when I tried to install a package off of 
the CD's I could not as I had installed a new version of a dependent 
package, so I had to use up2date to install the new version from RHN.
