Make sure you have the latest rhn-applet RPM installed: rhn-applet-2.1.4-3 As far as actually running up2date goes, at this point it just seems slower and more cumbersome than yum. I don't bother with it, so I can't help you there. I do remember noting that yum and up2date don't quite agree on the status of some packages with non-standard or "3rd party" version strings / releases. For instance, my up2date applet needs to be told to ignore 'yum', because it wants to grab the same version, only tagged with 'fr' (freshRPMS), from a 3rd party repo. I trust the original yum packagers on this anyway. 'yum update' doesn't get much simpler. -- Merc zenmerc@xxxxxxxxxxx Yeah.
