thanks guys, i got it working by commenting out the alias line. now i'm wondering how i should get the updates..
"Also after you get on the network configure yum for a mirror. If you try and use the standard redhat servers you will find they are over loaded. Also I have found yum to be much faster than up2date."
i'm guessing this is when i launch up2date
up2date isn't yum.
and the red hat network configuration comes up asking for me to select a red hat network server to use???
No, it's not. That address is only used if you configure a RHN source. up2date sources are configured in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file. The up2date with FC2 already grabs a list of mirrors and picks one, you don't have to do it manually unless you want to.
where can i find the mirror sites to put in that line? (if that's what i'm supposed to do to get updates)
