I have had up2date hang when checking dependencies. I have even gone as far as clearing the /var/spool/up2date folder. Because of this I've been installing updates manually. The last thing installed using up2date was the kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2. I do not know much about yum is that different than up2date or do they work together? If it is a different method for getting updates can you direct me to how I can find how to use it. Otherwise is there a way to do the update manually?
