if like me your fedora up2date is slowwwwwwwwwwwww then try a different mirror
you'll need to edit a file called
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
the default file is below fyi:-
Code:
### this describes the various package repos up2date will look into
### for packages. It currently supports apt-rpm repos, yum repos,
### and "dir" repos
### format is one repo entry per line, # starts comments, the
### first word on each line is the type of repo.
### the defalt rhn (using "default" as the url means
### use the one in the up2date config file
#up2date default
### When a channel-label is required for the non up2date repo's,
### the label is soley used as an internal identifier and is not
### based on the url or any other info from the repo.
### an apt style repo, this time arjanv's 2.6 kernel repo
### format is:
### type channel-label service:server path repo name
#apt arjan-2.6-kernel-i386 http://people.redhat.com ~arjanv/2.5/ kernel
### Note that for apt repos, there can be multiple repo names specificed
### space seperated.
### an yum style repo
### format:
### type channel-label url
yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1
yum updates-released http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1
#yum updates-testing http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1
### an local directory full of packages
### format
#dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/RPMS/
# multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used. Depenencies
# can be resolved "cross-repo" if need be.the faster mirror i'm currently using is edited into this file and you can see my ammended sources file below
