Hi Regit, Actually, once you have one of the releases, you can just download the individual rpm files and upgrade existing modules or add new applications. http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/errata.html has all the updates and why. Have a wander around the RedHat site. It will tell you what is new, what depends on what else and how to get other stuff. There are also times when you may want to down source from the originator of the program. An example is to use bind-8x for increased security. If you feel strong and convident, down load other software (usually in a tar-gzip file) and compile it on. Can be a rewarding experience when you finally achieve it :-) Greyman graham@gmcs.com.au Regit Young wrote in message <369906F5.C2AFEF0F@wantree.com.au>... >I've just installed RH5.2 via ftp (a full 11 hours!!!).
