Figure 2.7. Finish Setting Up Software Updates
The
Finish Setting Up Software Updates
page indicates that you have successfully registered a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5 system with RHN. From this point, you do not have to do anything to receive
software updates. A package icon will appear in the upper right corner of your desktop when updates
are available. Click on the icon to apply available updates. Click
Finish
to exit the wizard.
Note
If you do not have any entitlements available for this system, this final page indicates
that the registration has failed. This does not mean that the system profile has not
been stored with RHN, only that you will not receive automatic updates without manual
intervention. You can always login to the RHN or Satellite Web interface and either
purchase additional entitlements or get an entitlement from your Satellite administrator.
Click the
Exit software update setup
button to exit the wizard.
2.1.1. Command-line version of
rhn_register
There is also a command-line version of

that allows you to register your system for
access to RHN or Satellite without a graphical desktop environment.
