Issue

Red Hat Network (RHN) does not contain Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.9 installation ISOs.[1]

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 without access to Red Hat Network

Resolution

Create a Reference System that connects to Red Hat Network and downloads the latest RHEL 4 packages. Those downloaded packages are then used to upgrade the Target System from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.9 without connecting to Red Hat Network.
Reference System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 installed and connected to Red Hat Network
Target System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 installed but not connected to Red Hat Network
It is assumed that the Reference System is identical or similar to the Target System, including architecture type. If they cannot be similar, it is recommended that the Reference System be an @everything installation to minimize missed package updates.

Reference System Setup

Issue the following commands as root user on the Reference System after installing a base Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 system from Red Hat Network.
Ensure there are no previously downloaded RPMs on the system:

rm -rf /var/spool/up2date/*

Download all available updates (including those on the "skip" list) from RHN and stores them in /var/spool/up2date :

up2date -u -v -d -f

Transfer the downloaded packages to an empty mounted device for later use on the Target System:

cp /var/spool/up2date/*.rpm /media/flash_drive

Target System Setup

Perform the following actions as root user on the Target System after completing the previous steps with the Reference System.
Mount the device containing the updated packages.
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file with the following:

... #up2date default
dir rhel49 /media/flash_drive

...

By modifying/including these commands, the default search directory is disabled, and is replaced with the local mounted device.

Import the RPM GPG key:

rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY

Update all packages (including the kernel) on the Target System:

up2date -uf

Reboot the system.
