+It is very important that you update your LON-CAPA system to use the
+latest RedHat packages. LON-CAPA uses CHECKRPMS to notify users their system
+needs updating.
+<pre>
+/usr/local/loncapa/bin/CHECKRPMS
+</pre>
+CHECKRPMS will give you the option of downloading the updates you need.
+Say yes. Then issue the following commands:
+<pre>
+cd /tmp/loncapa_rpm_updates'
+rpm -Uvh *
+</pre>
+</p><p>
+You will need to reboot your system to begin running the new Linux Kernel
+put out by RedHat. You can wait until the end of the LON-CAPA installation
+process to reboot.
+</p><p>
+Congratulate yourself - your system is up to date. Please do your best to
+keep it that way! When LON-CAPA is installed it sets itself up to run
+CHECKRPMS script every night and email you the results.
+<b>Please do not ignore these emails.</b>
+You will need to update the RPMs yourself when it notifies you.
+Keeping your system up-to-date goes a long way towards ensuring the
