Updating test 3

I know this has been covered rather extensively but it seems I've lost
track of the last best way to do an up2date no test3.

I've included the line in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

  yum rawhide http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/

Running up2date -u shows a huge list of things to update, get to the
dependancy resolving part and seems eventuall to hang completely.
It ran over 2hrs and had resouces pegged at 96% at the end of that
time, before I sig KILL'ed it.

On the other hand a `yum upgrade' shows the following output:
   [root at exp root]# yum upgrade
   Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
   Server: Red Hat Linux 0.95 - i386 - Base
   Server: Red Hat Linux 0.95 - Updates
   Finding updated packages
   Downloading needed headers
   Finding obsoleted packages
   Resolving dependencies
   .Dependencies resolved
   I will do the following:
   [update: compat-db 4.0.14-2.i386]
   I will install/upgrade these to satisfy the dependencies:
   [deps: compat-libstdc++ 7.3-2.96.118.i386]
   Is this ok [y/N]: y
   Getting compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
   Getting compat-db-4.0.14-2.i386.rpm
   Calculating available disk space - this could take a bit
   compat-libstdc++ 100 % done 1/2 
   compat-db 100 % done 2/2 
   Updated:  compat-db 4.0.14-2.i386
   Dep Installed:  compat-libstdc++ 7.3-2.96.118.i386
   Transaction(s) Complete

That is, 2 pkgs upgraded.

So what is happening here?  I'm not supposed to use up2date now?
