In a fit of stupidity, I managed to get up2date unsubscribed from its "channel". (I am unable to reconstruct exactly how I got here; it involved thinking that getting a Red Hat Network managemente account was a good idea; then discovering that getting it to do anything was a for-fee service.)
I'm running Fedore Core 3; here is what happens:
Launch up2date; enter root password; Get "This is Red Hat Update Agent, it will assist you to update your Red Hat Enterprise system with the latest software..." Click forward "The system may not be updated until it is associated with a channel."
How, exactly, do I do that? I've tried to navigate the config files & google, but get hopelessly lost.
The up2date icon & alert notification tool window tells me that there are lots of updates to be had. So it would seem to be a partial misconfiguration...
On a whim, I tried re-installing (as an update!) from DVD; unsurprsingly, his didn't correct my mistake.
Thanks in advance.
