Fedora does not use RHN. You do not need to register anywhere to receive
updates. If you run the step and register using up2date / RHN applet the
tool will refuse to work as there is no Fedora channel with the RHN
service.

Correct the settings. Or even better: use "yum" to update package, to
install further or to uninstall unwanted.
