[Spacewalk-list] simple question about updates

[Jonathan DeHaan]

Jason,

Almost that simple. You also have to make sure your systems are subscribed to 
your update channel, and then tell the systems to update. You can do the 
update a variety of ways - remote command 'yum -y update', Systems -> Overview 
-> {system} -> Software -> Packages -> Upgrade, create and deploy Errata for 
your update, etc.
