Someone suggested I try a mirror. Sorry, I lost that message but will reply to 
my original note instead.
I had tried two mirrors with no change but decided to try again. Same result, 
given below:

[root@localhost rhn]# up2date --nox -u -v
 
Fetching package list for channel: fedora-core-1...
 
Fetching 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/1/i386/os//headers/header.info...
########################################
 
Fetching package list for channel: updates-released...
 
Fetching 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/1/i386//headers/header.info...
########################################
 
Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: fedora-core-1...
 
Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: updates-released...
 
Fetching rpm headers...
There was some sort of I/O error: Not a gzipped file
[root@localhost rhn]#

Thanks again,
Chuck
