[WBEL-users] Yum - Up2date ...

[p.banholzer]

Hi list,

I've installed 5 servers working with WBEL3
uname -a : Linux thales 2.4.21-15.EL #1 Sun May 16 02:07:24 EDT 2004
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
and it works fine ...

but, sorry, even if I read the FAQ (http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/faq.html)
I'm not able to make any update ... with an automated method.

*** up2date : what I have done and logs

rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-whitebox
