1.6. Before You Begin
Red Hat Network is available for Red Hat Linux 6.2 and higher. For instructions on configuring Red
Hat Linux 6.2 for Red Hat Network, refer to Chapter 6.
By default, all the software packages you need to use Red Hat Network are installed with Red Hat
Linux 7 and higher. However, if you chose not to install them during the installation process or per-
formed an upgrade from Red Hat Linux 6.2 or lower, you may not have the
Red Hat Network Reg-
istration Client or the Red Hat Update Agent installed. Remember, if you are a Red Hat Linux
8.0 user, you do not need the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
. To determine if the
Red Hat
Network Registration Client is installed, type the following command:
rpm -q rhn_register
If the Red Hat Network Registration Client is installed, it will return something similar to
rhn_register-2.7.21-7.x.3
The version number might differ slightly.
If you do not have the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
installed, the command will return
package rhn_register is not installed
Perform this check for every package in Table 1-1. If you prefer to use the command line versions,
you do not have to install the two packages ending in
gnome
.
