[TriLUG] up2date

[Roy Vestal]

You can use this on the command line with up2date-nox -d so you don't have
to use the GUI client. Also, before doing anything like this, I would
recommend up2date -nox -p to force your machine and rhn to syncronize the
package lists. If you do install a package after downloading, you will need
to use this command to syncronize the package lists.

>From the man page:

      ‐d, ‐‐download
        download  packages  only,  do  not install them.  This option is
provided so that you can override the configuration  option  "Do not
install packages after retrieval."  It is mutually exclusive with the
‐‐install option.
