<P><FONT SIZE=2>I use ftp.esat.net<BR>
<BR>
I have noticed that for the latest update from RH, we have the new<BR>
kernel but a lot of the updates are still not on this mirror. I don't<BR>
see any news so wonder if the complete update is still being worked on<BR>
or whether this mirror is out of date.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone know if the complete update is available or still in the<BR>
pipeline?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
