It seems to me that you have a proxy problem. Please ignore the rest if you don't attempt to run up2date from behind a proxy.<BR>
<BR>
So if you're behind a proxy do this:<BR>
<BR>
$ su -<BR>
$ export http_proxy=<A HREF="http://x.y.z.w:">http://</A>IP:PORT (insert the proxy's IP and PORT here)<BR>
$ up2date<BR>
<BR>
The "su -' is very important. I don't know the exact reason for this (you may search this list for more technical answers), but it works for me.<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
Botond<BR>

I used it to try to get from FC1 to FC2 and yum was reading from the FC1
channel once the command was issued. Does anyone on this list know how to
tell up2date to do an upgrade? I seem to be having a problem mostly with
proper syntax for specifying a channel. This is a pentium yet its got
i386 version software on it if that makes any difference.
