Oops. Sorry, I was thinking about RHL 7.x  .
Replace the above step with:

rpm -Fvh i386/kernel-*-2.2* i386/glibc-*

please download the whole directory. It's very small compared to i386
and you're better off updating those rpms as well as the arch-specific
ones. noarch contains the rhn_register rpm which will allow you to
register your machine with Red Hat, making futur updates very easy.
