Thanks Paul - that's worked ;) - I should have
mentioned, for one reason or another ive been using
FC3 Test 3 - I updated normally from that to "FC3" but
then yum appeared to brake and hence couldn't update
anymore - following Thom's local list instructions
it's worked out fine and I've just updated around 38
packages - it did mention something about a new
.rpmnew file for both Up2date's
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file and the repos.d files
I've just put in - so I'm going to check that out now.
For interst I'll just post the last part of the
update:
