how to install yum in RH enterprise ?? 2006-05-24 - By Leuy Eeelyu
Back
Hi.. Sorry I don't quite understand it. Can you give
me a example. For example my httpd is in my RHEL is
httpd-2 (See http://tpd-2.ora-code.com).0.46-54.ent and I would like to upgrade to the
latest version httpd-2 (See http://tpd-2.ora-code.com).0.46-56.ent
Without subscribing to RHN , how to use "yum" to
upgrade the httpd-2 (See http://tpd-2.ora-code.com).0.46-54.ent to
httpd-2 (See http://tpd-2.ora-code.com).0.46-56.ent??
