There are no updates for oscar 5 currently, no need to care about these, yet. > What should I use to update the nodes? > repo_update seems to be working and I can rebuild the image but that will > leave the oscar packages not up to date with the master node. Use repo_update to download updates from the web into your local repository /tftpboot/distro/fedora-5-i386. I hope you have that repository? Then re-create the repository metadata with yume --repo /tftpboot/distro/fedora-5-i386 --prepare > yume check-update on the master returns the following error message: > "ERROR while executing "yum -c /tmp/fileZyFzHU check-update" : > Inappropriate ioctl for device" > any ideas? That is normally no issue. The fact that you don't get any output (besides the error) means that you don't have updates in your local repositories. You can try running "yume -v ..." to get more details. Regards, Erich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
