    Linux Update in RedHat

    when i click on the (?) circle with question mark thingy ... it says my system isnt registered with the RHN ... but when I click on Register with RHN ... nothing happens ... so I cant register.

    And if i have to register with a product key, where do i find that? My dad purchased an AustralianPCWorldMinibook:Linux Pack, and I couldnt find a product key anywhere. ... I dont know what to do .. can anyone help?

    Do you have access to the internet?? You have to create a rhn-account on redhats homepage to be able to download and install redhat rpm-packages.

    RHN has changed their SSL certificate, so you need to upgrade up2date to use it. See rhn.redhat.com for details.

    Ah, then I get it. Yeah, you can safely install i386 RPMs. i686 is backwards compatible with i386; that's why most RPMs are released as i386.
