Up2date invokes, but just sits. It looks like it retrieving updates. I've let it sit overnight, with no success.
Help please?

Are you using Fedora Core 1 or 2?
If you're using FC1, then perhaps up2date is trying to hit the overworked Redhat servers? The up2date sources file, located at
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
was initially set to hit Redhat's servers, and they are simply "over-hit on."
Have you set up up2date's sources file to hit mirrors?
These articles may be of some help: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#slowupdateservers http://fedoranews.org/contributors/alexander_dalloz/mirror/
Once configured to hit mirrors, you should see a significant improvement in up2date's performance!
Hope this helps, Clint Harshaw
