After choosing to download the package(s) using one of these methods, you will be pre-
sented with a confirmation page as shown in Figure 5-5. If you selected a package that is

Even if you selected to download more than one package, you will only download one file.
This one TAR file contains the RPM package(s) you selected. To extract the packages from
the TAR file, open a shell prompt (such as an XTerm or GNOME terminal), change to the
rhn-packages
directory, and issue the command:
tar -xvf rhn-packages.tar
The next step is to install the packages manually. Refer to Section 4.7 for details.
5.6. Errata
Red Hat releases Errata Alerts in three categories: Security Alerts, Bug Fix Alerts, and En-
hancement Alerts. Each Errata Alert is comprised of a summary of the problem and the so-
lution, including the RPM packages required to fix the problem. The Errata category allows
you to view all released Errata Alerts, to view only Errata Alerts applicable to your systems,
to search Errata Alerts, and to apply Errata Updates to one or more of your systems.
