Thank you! ... actually FYI, and for anyone else who might make the
same mistake, running rhn_register had placed a "#" between
"up2date default" and "yum". I've corrected this as shown below:

### type  channel-label     url 

up2date default yum fedora-$ARCH-os 
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/0.94/$ARCH/yum/os/
yum rawhide http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/

### an local directory full of packages

Now I'm being directed to rawhide again for updates. <G>
