I was just reading about this because I'm going the opposite way and trying to figure out how to use Yum. <snip.. taken from the Fedora wiki> In Fedora Core 1, up2date has the ability to use yum and apt repository. So if you want to use up2date, edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources (as root) and add : yum fedora-us-stable-fc1 http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/yum/stable yum fedora-us-testing-fc1 http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/yum/testing yum fedora-us-unstable-fc1 http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/yum/unstable Hope this is what you were looking for. If you have other users doing updates, you might want to just use the stable link and leave out the testing/unstable links.

I'm running Fedora Core 1. I upgraded from Red Hat Linux 9 using the GUI anaconda installer on the ISO CDs and I checked the media before installing. When I upgraded, I actually selected the Upgrade option instead of doing a fresh install. Everything is working pretty well. I was mightly impressed that it stepped around my alsa drivers and sound config successfully. I still have sound. (I'm running a ThinkPad 600E so it's some work to get everything working properly. And I know that it was my config that's making sound work because I have another 600 that I did a fresh install on and sound doesn't work yet.) Anyway, when I run up2date in the GUI mode, it freezes when attempting to get the header.info file. I have worked around the redirect issues and tested the URLs I'm using with a browser, so I know that wasn't the issue. When I run it in text mode, I get the following error: Fetching http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info... There was some sort of I/O error: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> I have successfully updated the system using yum, but I would like to get up2date working. More importantly, I support a number of users who use Red Hat Linux 9 that I plan on upgrading to Fedora, but I'm concerned that they will not be able to use up2date. (Typical end users that don't know a command prompt from a hole in the ground.) I'd be happy to help debug the situation. Let me know if anyone has any insight into this problem. Thanks, tims <butt-kissing> PS - Hey, Fedora team, good work! Despite a few glitches which I believe will be ironed out through the community process, Fedora Core 1 is pretty solid. I'm also excited about getting things like alsa and kernel updates sooner rather than later. I'm definitely routing for you. Keep it up! </butt-kissing> __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
