Important
Although file preservation is useful, it does have limitations. First, each list is limited to
a total size of 1 MB. Further, special devices like
/dev/hda1
and
/dev/sda1
are not
supported. Finally, only file and directory names may be entered. No regular expression
wildcards can be included.
When finished, you may include the file preservation list in the kickstart profile to be used on systems
containing those files. Refer to
Section 6.4.9.3, “Create a New Kickstart Profile”
for precise steps.

Red Hat releases Errata Updates in three categories, or types: Security Updates, Bug Fix Updates,
and Enhancement Updates. Each Errata Update is comprised of a summary of the problem and the
solution, including the RPM packages required to fix the problem.
Icons are used to identify the three types of Errata Updates:
•
— Security Updates available, update
strongly
recommended
•
— Bug Fix Updates available and recommended
•
— Enhancement Updates available
A summary of each erratum is provided in list form. This view instantly informs you of the type, severity
(for Security Updates), and subject of the erratum, as well as the number of affected systems.
In addition to the pages described within this chapter, you may view Errata by product line from the
following location:
