The last lot of updates should still be available from the usual Fedora
repos (the ones it comes predefined with).  Legacy repos were where
further updates were to be found, once the main project stopped being
worked on.

One could bootup in init mode 3 (append a 3 to the end of the kernel
line, if one edits the GRUB options at bootup).  You could then run yum
to update things in a command line, if you wanted to.
