Thanks all,

The rpm -e for galeon then allowed up2date to pull down all the updates 
just fine.

I then ran the show-orphans and it lists a whole bunch of packages. 
Other than a couple of things that I've installed later (wine and j2kre 
1.4) are all these things just taking up disk space?  If I remove them 
as well (rpm -e) will it cause me any problems?  That is, my FC1 install 
is an upgrade from RH9, so I am presuming that these "extra" things are 
left-overs from RH9 that are no longer required for FC1 and could be 
removed.  The list of packages follows for those interested...

   --show-orphans
               List all packages currently installed that are not
               present in channels the server is subscribed to.
