Ok.. I'm trying plan b first:

[root at furious root]# rpm -q yum
yum-2.0.7-3
[root at furious root]# up2date -u yum
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-2
using mirror: 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released-fc2
using mirror: 
http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386/
There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was:
                                                                                                                                     

An HTTP error occurred:

Status Code: 404
Error Message: Not Found

That didn't work. But then plan c doesn't work either.

Then on to plan a:

[root at furious root]# rpm -Uvh /home/kbn/yum-2.1.3-1.noarch.rpm
warning: /home/kbn/yum-2.1.3-1.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key

mirrors to try.

Doesn't work either...

That is, I'm unable to update in any case. Tho only way left, as I can 
see, is to download the entire beast, create my own headers, and the yum 
update the lot...
