To those who responded, thank you. After a long day, all is well.
I came close to re-installing from CD, but little by little, by reading
listers' comments and suggestions, I finally am 100% FC1.
The biggest problem was the default sources file. Following Alexander
Dalloz's suggestions, I modified it to use a different mirror.
Unfortunately, all mirrors don't have lots of bandwidth and the first
mirror I chose crept along at 13-27 KB/s. I found a faster one by trial
and error.
Did I miss a "Readme" file that said not to try to register with Red
Hat? Doing that messed up up2date so it wouldn't associate with the
proper channels. I finally got that squared away (but I'm not sure I
know how I did it!!).
At any rate, thanks to all. I'm now ready to upgrade my machine at the
office...I think.

In these trying times, Ben Franklin's view should be a guide:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." (1759)
