I don't like having to say, "Oh yeah, > great desktop system, but you need to edit these really confusing > looking files first." I do not work for Red Hat so this is still not an offical response. Apparent, someone at Red Hat deleted the redirects on http://fedora.redhat.com (actually, the save systems as http://www.redhat.com so it needs to redirect because of loading). These redirects are not back in place and you do not need to modify /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources. However, there is an update to rhn-applet available but you will not see it if you wait for an "updates available" "red-bang" indication. If you run up2date, it will be seen (along with any other updates not yet applied). Once you get the rhn-applet package update installed, it will follow the redirects and indicate when packages are available [this was just demonstrated to me with the sed update available on update-test]. -- Gene
