While up2date works fine with FC1, the applet, that's supposed to warn me of updates (and it did when I used the central repository) has stopped warning when I started using a mirror. It always has the green "OK"-button and when I open it, it shows a bit of "critical information" as follows:

" The applet has been unable to access the following information sources in its last attempts: nluug-fedora-core-1 @ ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora/1/i386/os, nluug-fedora-updates-released @ ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora/updates/1/i386 " <Typed this, because cut/paste from the RHN alert notification tool doesn't work (?)>

However, subsequently running up2date shows all updates and I can update all correctly.

Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong?

Guus.
