i fetched "up2date" & "yum" from fedora, installed them on my rhl9 then upgraded the whole system (not exactly, see the questions below), basic it's smooth but still got a few questions 1, kernel the upgrade of kernel didn't finish successfully because the file "/boot/message" does not exist after doing some google, i commented that line and it seems to be OK but the lilo menu is gone after restarted, now it's only "lilo:" it's not really a problem but i still like to know if i can get the menu back, and most importantly, what else problem there might be (after i commented that line) 2, perl i can NOT upgrade perl packages because of conflicts with perl-CGI 3, rhn_register since i am now fedora, i logged in rhn, removed my old record of rhl9 then registered again it prompted me something like "the registration is successful but not active because of no channel subscribed" this is not really a problem too, since i've managed up2date to use yum sources i just want to confirm if this is the way it meant to be
