i have this annoying red button thing down on the task bar in fedora and everytime a click on it it says your system is not regestered with Red Hat Network. so i click the button that says with RHN and it leeds me to this lil wizard tyhing but on the second/third step it trys to download somthing i am on the web but it still freezes when trying to get the file. i have no idea what to do except try again and every time it freezes no matter how long i leave it alone for (i went downtown for an hour and came back still the same thing) so i am not shure what to do or how to do it can some one please tell me what i need to do to get this to finnaly work.

Hi RA

I had the same problem. Are you trying to get all and every one of the updates at one time? What I did was just select the ones I wanted and took them one at a time rather than try a whole bunch together. Worked OK for me that way.

Cheers

Hi!

I had same problem, but then I discovered the 'yum' command. With the 'yum' command you can make all the upgrades that you want - in one command and eventually downloaderrors doesnt affect you as yum re-downloads the broken rpm

try (as root):
yum upgrade

after a while (depends on your connection, machine and how many packages you have to upgrade) you have to answer with an 'y'

Hope this helps you!

thanks i cant wait till fedora core 2 comes out

i thought you couldent connect to the net when your logged in as root

i have dileup so it will take a long time i guess ill just run that comand and go to school and when i come home i should be updated (i hope)

to be sure, start the command when you go to bed, then it might be ready when you come home from school.

GL and have fun

_RA_: The redhat site is dead slow, unless you are a paying customer. You need to redirect up2date to a fedora mirror site from this list:

http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html

First, find a site that downloads at an acceptable speed. Not all mirrors were created equally in this respect, so shop around for one. Next, look in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and you will find two uncommented lines:

yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora......
yum updates-released http://fedora...

Put the http://fedora... addresses into your web browser and you will be redirected to redhat locations. Then look at the mirror site and find the same locations. Note that the mirrors are usually organized differently than the redhat site. Now, substitute the mirror addresses for the http://fedora... addresses.

Run up2date again and everything should go quickly.

thanks

yum upgrade worked it just dissconected while i was at school wich sucks (of course getting my blood drawn before school did too) but when i got home i finished eveything except now i have to wait as all the big updates like open office and the kernal take there time to download at least it works i cant argue and if it dies i can always contenue from the latest finished file.
