About 4 weeks ago I upgraded/Loaded Fedora and have had some problems some of which I have solved and some are still outstanding. Having said all of that I did a really, really stupid thing today, when I installed Fedora I had a few error messages but pushed on through the installation regardless, so I thought it would be a good idea (here comes the stupid bit) to delete the system on the Red Hat site, then delete /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid re register the system. Oh dear a little knowledge is dangerous, now my up2date says " This system may not be updated until it is associated with a channel." or "the applet has been unable to access the following information sources in its last attempts: fedora-core-1 @ <A HREF="http://fedora.redhat.ccom/releases/fedora-core-1,">http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1,</A> updates-released @ <A HREF="http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1">http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1</A>" However when I try to associate with a channel on Redhats site the website will net let me (possibly I'm doing something wrong). Can anyone help me "please, please, pretty please" keep in mind that I am a complete idiot and will need total hand holding (ie. click on this, then this or type this, then this) I hope someone will be kind enough to help as at the moment my laptop cannot now auto update.
