Thanks Daniel. The problem is not that the up2date applet did not work before I upgraded from RHL9 to Fedora Core 1, it did work ok before. After my upgrade i now find it still says nothing different in the menu in the GUI, still says Red Hat Network Notification Tool, and it now is telling me that everything is fully up to date ALL the time, even when I have not yet connected to the internet. When I ran up2date, regardless of what the applet did or did not report about status, up2date displayed two channels that it subscribed me to (different from what I had on RHL9) and it found *several* updates (7.4 GB worth of them) that I then downloaded and installed. All the while the applet was telling me all was up to date before any of that. It seems that there is yet some important work to be done on the update system for Fedora Core. Like getting YUM listed in the GUI menu items and RHN out. As well pretty much everything in general about YUM incorporated into the whole system, OS and update site wise. Doing something to present different images for the status would be good too, so that people would not so easily confuse the Red Hat Network Notification icons with those for YUM. -- Dennis C.
