If you are using FC test 3, you'll note that up2date now picks up
rpms from http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide as opposed
to http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/0.95/$ARCH/yum/os. The
rawhide repository does not work of profiles as such you really
can't update your profile. Note that before you had to have registered
with RHN before you could use up2date. With the way it is set up now
you don't need to register. I assume that when FC1 is released, this
will change.

Many a writer seems to think he is never profound except when he can't
understand his own meaning.
