For the last two weeks or so that I have been running FC2, I have been

I believe that this is most likely to be caused by one or both of two
things: either the mirrors yum is using are lagging slightly behind the
mirrors that up2date are using, or that your yum.conf file is missing an
entry for Fedora Core 2 Updates Released.

Are you subscribed to the right channels? In a terminal,
rug ch
will list the channels and tell you what you are subscribed to.

I don't believe that you can add a yum channel as a service directly in
Red Carpet or rug in that way. What the Red Carpet developers mean when
they say that Red Carpet now supports yum repositories is this: if a
third party has a yum repository, then the Open Carpet server software
that the rcd daemon connects to can import that and provide it as a Red
Carpet channel without the third party having to do anything at their
end.

You need to subscribe to the fedora-updates channel.

When using yum, I downloaded the yum.conf from the faq site and enabled
most of the servers, except for the unstable and testing servers.<br>
<br>
In looking at my yum.conf versus the rhn/sources, the servers urls seem
to be different:<br>
<br>
fedora core 2<br>
rhn: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/$ARCH/os/">http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/$ARCH/os/</a><br>
yum: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever">http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever</a><br>
<br>
fedora core updates released<br>
rhn:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/$ARCH/">http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/$ARCH/</a><br>
yum: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-$releasever">http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-$releasever</a><br>
<br>
Now red carpet is already subscribed to the yum channels, but the rhn
channels give me a cannot connect error if I try to add them. I get the
same problem the other way around, if I add the yum channels from my
yum.conf to the rhn sources file, then up2date won't work.<br>
