Warning
Changing a system’s entitlement is an irreversible action. You may be unable to change
the entitlement levels of some systems. For more information, refer to the RHN entitlement
policy linked from the System Entitlements page.
The number of entitlements remaining decreases, and your system becomes ready to use
the Red Hat Update Agent and RHN website. Refer to Chapter 2 Red Hat Update Agent
and Chapter 6 Red Hat Network Website for details on how to use them. If you do not have
any entitlements left, click the Buy more system entitlements now link at the top of the
System Entitlements page to make additional purchases.
5.7. Text Mode RHN Registration Client
If you are not running the X Window System, the Red Hat Network Registration Client
starts in text mode.
You can force the
Red Hat Network Registration Client to run in text mode with the
command:
rhn_register --nox
The screens for the text mode Red Hat Network Registration Client are almost identical
to the screens for the graphical Red Hat Network Registration Client . Some of the
text in the text mode version is more concise due to lack of space in the interface.
However, there are equal numbers of screens and fields in both versions. Thus, if you
are using the text mode version, you can still follow the instructions that begin in
Section 5.2 Starting the Red Hat Network Registration Client .
