I discovered that there are still updates to be made to 1.92, even
though the most recent version of up2date changes the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file to behave as though FC2 is installed. I
added the following line to my sources file and found 40 updates in my
case by unchecking the other sources in the up2date window.
yum updates-testing
ftp://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/core/development
Needs to all be on one line in the sources file.
