Above pages read and followed I think? Results puzzling.
Ran Up2Date from icon using this setup...
yum channel ibiblio-fedora-core-1 from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/1/i38...
yum channel ibiblio-updates-released from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/updat...
and got response /everything up-to-date./
Ran yum from terminal with following setup......
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/co...
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/co...
and got several hundred file returns. Why the diff responses and is my
yum setup giving me file returns I shouldn't be getting?
Just a guess, but if your up2date source file yum entries look exactly
how you pasted it in your mail, then it must fail. Yum is certainly
giving you the proper information about updates available.
Thanks for help

See in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources the comment:
### an yum style repo
### format:
### type channel-label url
You see that "channel ibiblio-fedora-core-1 from" is a 3 word naming,
while the channel-label has to be a single word. If you would run
up2date in CLI mode you would see
$ up2date-nox -u
Error parsing /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
at line: yum channel from chemnitz-fedora-core-1 http://....
and up2date failing. So correct your sources file for up2date. [ Please
keep in mind too, that the
ibiblio.org mirror server I took in my
article is just an example. There might be a better fitting mirror for
your location. ]
