Unfortunately gyum doesn't work with repos defined in /etc/yum.repos.d
(they have to be merged in with yum.conf) and so this isn't a very good
solution for FC3.
Making yum, up2date, and rhn-applet all point to the same repo to avoid
inconsistencies is a bit more awkward to set up, but it's a "cleaner"
solution.
