I am currently trying to accomplish a much needed update of my RPMs.  I started 
by d/ling updated RPMs from RHN and would just use the Gnome file manager and 
double click on RPMs once I d/led them to my linux box.  However, it was giving 
me dependency errors.

For example, I have netscape-common-4.75-2 and d/led 4.77 and when I double-
clicked the RPM, it told me it had a dependency on 4.76....Should I have 
installed it anyway?  I could not find 4.76 for d/l on the RedHat website.

I suppose I can use "RPM -u" which i think is the command line update for RPMs. 
 Would this alleviate my dependency problems, or is it necessary to step up the 
RPMs with all the intermediate versions?

Also, I like to use RHN (my one free System) to know what updates there are and 
what I need to update.  Is there anyway to update the listing of installed 
packages from my RH system on RHN?

I know there are few questions above.  Thank you for your help.
