   I was having problems obtaining the correct set of dependencies for the yum rpm even with a Redhat Subscription!, following your post was seamless and worked perfectly with rh4 vm appliance shipped from Redhat.

   10 out of 10!

    Thanks for the excellent instruction set. When I ran the last command “yum update”, it failed at the very end with the following error –
    Error: Missing Dependency: nmap = 2:4.20 for package: nmap-frontend

    I guess I have to download that package. I tried searching in google but confused about the version to download as none of those I find are 2:4.20 . Where can I get the exact command to download that?
