Ben,
Please post to the bottom of messages (and 'snip' what is no longer relevent) 
as this makes reading the threads much easier, especially for someone trying 
to join an existing thread. So, see my notes at the bottom....

ben,
I don't know about using up2date for the fedora legacy site. I was going by 
the docs at their download page where there are instructions for using apt or 
else yum. 
They do not mention up2date, although it may be configurable to use that site, 
but without experimenting with it, I don't know how to set it up.

It 'appears' up2date uses something like (all one line):
"yum channel updates from  
ftp://ftp.telus.net/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/1.90/i386/os"

(that is from a FC 1 machine, so don't use it, plus the url is no longer)

The GPG Key is for validating the rpm download site. It is mentioned in step 
2.2 for both yum and apt.
