Hi

U7 is not a patch but a new release, you can download U7 and then perform an upgrade.

else you can do an automatic updates using RHN and you will get the latest packages.

Cheers

You can perform an upgrade from CDÂ´s but RedHat donÂ´t support this option. (after boot from CD #1 , put "linux upgrade")
If you want only upgrade the kernel, try download from RedHat Network (with subscription) and perform a "rpm -ivh" for kernel rpmÂ´s.

In my Redhat 3 U6 box I have:

>> rpm -qa | grep kernel

kernel-doc-2.4.21-37.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.EL
kernel-source-2.4.21-37.EL

Best Regards.

RH supports only update via RHN.

Manually you can upgrade your system using "rpm -F" for non-kernel packages and "rpm -i" for kernel.
