* Setting up2date with existing account @ Tommy Moore ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Tommy Moore @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi guys. I've reinstalled RH 8.0 on my machine and have selected different software to be installed on the machine so I deleted the old profile on RHN for the machine and am wanting to subscribe the new install. When I run the up2date agent there is a way for me to tell the program I have an account with RHN but not really sure how to access this portion with Speakup. I can see the fields for creating a new account, but I'd like to use the one I've setup previously. How can I do this? Thanks guys. Tommy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Also, have you registered with on the web site: https://rhn.redhat.com You could always delete your old system there, and then start over. As often as I've reinstalled Red Hat, you'd think I'd remember this, but I don't. Have to look it up every time. Tommy Moore writes: > From: Tommy Moore <tmoore@cmrc.org> > > Hi guys.

I've registered with RedHat network on a previous install of RH 8 on the same machine. I've completely reinstalled the system so there isn't anything on the machine left over from the last system. I've went to the site you gave and deleted the profile for that system and am trying to let it know about my new system. In the up2date program when it asks for a username nad password there's a selection on the screen that you can tell the program that you have an account with RHn but there isn't any way with Speakup to hit it. The only thing I have is the option of creating a new account. Thanks.

Actually, you're supposed to fill in the same fields, whether or not you have an account already. So, simply put your username in, put your password in twice, as prompted, and continue down to the <next> button. Note also the package deselction screen is a tad cumbersome. If you don't want to go through that list one by one, just hit the 'end' key and you'll go to zsh, after which a tab puts you on <next>.
