6.4.2. Software System Profile
The software System Profile consists of a list of RPM packages for which you wish to receive notifi-
cations. The
Red Hat Network Registration Client
shows you a list of all RPM packages listed in
the RPM database on your system and then allows you to customize the list by deselecting packages.
6.4.2.1. Gathering RPM Database Information
Only those packages you choose during this part of the registration will be included in your System
Profile, and you will only receive notifications about the packages in your System Profile. Thus, if
you use an older version of a package and deselect it from the list, it will not be replaced with a newer
version. This RPM list can be modified through the Red Hat Network website or by using the
Red
Hat Update Agent
. Figure 6-9 shows the progress bar you will see while the
Red Hat Network
Registration Client gathers a list of the RPM packages installed on your system. This operation may
take some time depending on your system.

Once the RPM package list is built, the list will be displayed as shown in Figure 6-10. Deselecting
Include RPM Packages installed on this system in my System Profile will omit this information
from your System Profile.
