thats a good idea... but my rh machine is on a dial up internet connection.  i do have 
access to the internet over a LAN so i use that to download updates then transfer them 
to the rh machine later to install.  this is a lot faster.
the issue is that i have actually downloaded all the rpm packages from the i386 dir 
from the updates site for rh 8.0  and the kernel packages from i686... since i have a 
p4.
but... what i would like to know is if there are any further rpms added to updates 
since i did that on Feb 20 or thereabouts.... is there a way to get this list easily 
without using uptodate?

The easy way to keep the machine updated is to register the machine with 
Red Hat Network, and use up2date.
