I thought this was going to be equivalent to Mandrake's update, where it can
check mirrors that you specify for the updates. But I emailed redhat about this
and they wrote me back saying that you must have a user ID and password to use
it, and those are only distributed with the Boxed version of redhat.
Call me crazy, but isn't this a bit of a crock? Why not do it free like
mandrake?
And no, I was unable to find ANY documentation on it ANYWHERE in or outside of
the distribution. (6.1)
