   <h2>Update your system</h2>
   <p>
   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 
   integrity of your student records.
