To install the GPG keys:

To set up up2date so it points at a decent mirror:

I have been using yum over up2date lately. It justs seems better to
me...(Read the FAQ some more, you will find out how to settup yum there)
Sun's Java 1.4.2_03 works perfectly for me on Fedora BTW, so probably
no need to go to court. The FAQ has tips on how to set that up, but I
am sure you won't need that.
Cheers,
Michael
