Do
you want to keep the same kernel as 5.1, or you want to keep the same number
listed in /etc/redhat-release?
I?m
a little confused exactly what you are looking for? Red Hat versions aren?t the
same as going from XP to Vista. If you keep updating your machine (not
upgrading) , you will stay with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, it?ll just slowly
increment the .0 to .1 to .2
Most
likely if your machines are registered with RHN right now and have been updating
then you are likely already running 5.2 stuff (except maybe without an updated
kernel). If you don?t do a ?pull? (running yum update) on the client, and just
let the rhn_check keep the machine up to date, then you will stay with your
current kernel (likely 5.1). Some other packages that depend on the
updated kernel will not update correctly though.

Subject: [rhelv5-list] Dont
want to upgrade to 5.2
We use yum to manage our distribution. But, we want to
stay with this version and not to upgrade to 5.2. However, we want also
the security update for the 5.1 version. What is the best way to keep the
5.1 version and install new packages?
