Updating Red Hat from RH4 to the latest
hi all,
i have a redhat 4 as (nahant) which i need to update to the latest. i need to download it from my subscription site.
my worry is that this is my first time to do it. is there a safe backout on it? do you have procedures for this? my backup on the linux is from ibm tsm.
i will use cd image because server is not expose to internet, so i can't use up2date.
thank you for any comment you may add.
