Your puzzlement is legitimate, given the kind of advice you received.
Here's the procedure (everything needs to be run as root):
1. Do this just once:
rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY*
Worked without errors... :-)
2. Then, whenever you want to update the system, do this:
yum update
I tried yum update yum and it worked fine, which it did not before I
had done step 1 above! :-)
You can update just one package if you wish (albeit it's generally
better to update everything):
yum update firefox
This also worked fine now, my Firefox is 1.0.4 and running :-)
To install a package that's not on your system:
yum install package-name-here
Tried this as well as part of the PPTP support install process and it
works without errors after yum update yum.
Thanks for your pointers!
