On my test box, where I did an update from DVD over my existing FC5,
anaconda did not install yum-updatesd. Thanks to your assist, I did a
manual yum install of it and am now looking it over.  Very different!

There is a discussion of yum-updatesd in the thread "FC6 yum updates
dependency problem".

Seems to me that something as important as system updates ought to be
more automatic from the install.  I hope that I just plain missed it
somehow.
