[RFC] additional enhancements for RHEL3/4 for Dell system-specific repo

[Michael E Brown]

All, 

    This is a followup to the posting yesterday about the
system-specific repository.

    The announcement yesterday only works well for 'yum' based updates.
As everybody is aware, RHEL3/4 do not have yum. RHEL5 has yum, but the
repo currently has no RHEL5 content (this will change in the coming
weeks).

    As a way for RHEL3/4 users to more easily try out this new
repository, I have created config file fragments that can be simply cut
and pasted into the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file for your systems.
Simply look in http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/SYSTEMNAME/, where
SYSTEMNAME is your system name. There are two up2date/rhn compatible
config file fragments there, dellhw-SYSTEMNAME-el3.rhn-source and
dellhw-SYSTEMNAME-el4.rhn-source.

    Simply download the appropriate file for your OS, and cut and paste
this config file fragment into your /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.

WARNING: These are system-specific. Make sure you download and install
the specific one for the system you are running on, or you may not get
content appropriate for your system.

    Feedback appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
