In playing with a few thoughts on updates to an image I just tried something and it looks to be working. So I'm posting it here to get a response from someone if this is a good or bad thing to be doing.... I chrooted into my diskless image and ran the following commands (edited for personal info): chroot /diskless/i386/RHEL4-AS/root/ rhnreg_ks --profilename=DisklessImage --username=NAME --password=PWD --force rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY up2date-nox -u After those commands were run the up2date command began doing the usual update process or so it seems. I know that after it is run I should rerun the gui on the diskless image so that it can recheck the changes needed for diskless usage. That noted is this a complete method for updating or are there known issues I'm not seeing that limits this method? System-config-netboot is now in maintenance mode only, no further development is planned for RHEL 4.x. Closing as WONTFIX. |
