Sorry, I lost that message but will reply to my original note instead. I had tried two mirrors with no change but decided to try again. Same result, given below: [root@localhost rhn]# up2date --nox -u -v Fetching package list for channel: fedora-core-1... Fetching http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/1/i386/os//headers/header.info... ######################################## Fetching package list for channel: updates-released... Fetching http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/1/i386//headers/header.info... ######################################## Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: fedora-core-1... Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: updates-released... Fetching rpm headers... There was some sort of I/O error: Not a gzipped file [root@localhost rhn]# Thanks again, Chuck
