You can do updates if you figure out where they live.  Rawhide update
source has not changed - still works with old config file entries,
unless a mirror has changed its structure.

For extras, fedora.us seems to have changed to 2 already:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/

Other sites still use 1.92.  Bit of a puzzle, but get yum.conf correct
and you can update rawhide and/or extras.
