Re: how to install yum in RH enterprise ??

Hi..  Sorry I don't quite understand it.  Can you give
me a example.  For example my httpd is in my RHEL is
httpd-2.0.46-54.ent and I would like to upgrade to the
latest version httpd-2.0.46-56.ent

Without subscribing to RHN , how to use "yum" to
upgrade the httpd-2.0.46-54.ent to
httpd-2.0.46-56.ent??
