You have to be in the directory that contains the header information. To 
get the standard updates for the release put something like tthe below 
in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.

yum static-fed  
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/

for the pre-QA approved updates you would need the below entry.

yum pre-QA-Updates 
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/i386/

For updates that were QA approved you would put the below.

yum QA-approved-updates 
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/


Also, if you are having trouble with it saying that there is no channel 
avalable. Make sure that the line that says.

up2date default

is commented to the below format. This stops the RHN checkin, based on 
your release channel.

### up2date default

I hope this helps,
