Or change the RHn up2daet applet to reflect yum
First grab gyum
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/gyum/2.0/fc3/2.0-5/
then grab the applet
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/gyum/2.0/gyum-applet/
right click the RHN applet and exit it
then go to system tools and choose gyum-update alert icon
Unfortunately gyum doesn't work with repos defined in /etc/yum.repos.d
(they have to be merged in with yum.conf) and so this isn't a very good
solution for FC3.
Making yum, up2date, and rhn-applet all point to the same repo to avoid
inconsistencies is a bit more awkward to set up, but it's a "cleaner"
solution.
