the essential steps necessary to get an RHN Satellite Server up and running.
2. The RHN Client Configuration Guide — This guide explains how to configure the systems to
be served by an RHN Proxy Server or RHN Satellite Server. (This will also likely require refer-
encing The RHN Reference Guide , which contains steps for registering and updating systems.)
3. The RHN Channel Management Guide — This guide identifies in great detail the recommended
methods for building custom packages, creating custom channels, and managing private Errata.
4. The RHN Reference Guide — This guide describes how to create RHN accounts, register and
update systems, and use the RHN website to its utmost potential. This guide will probably come
in handy throughout the installation and configuration process.
