Get the new glint package from a *mirror* ( http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html
)
and get all the other update packages as well that you use. Don't get all the
XFree86
packages, just the ones you use. Get the devel packages only if you will be
compiling.
There are dozens of security fixes andbug fixes in the updates. Read the
update
information in www.redhat.com/errata, particularly about making symlinks for
the newest 'rpm' package for 5.1.
