I have been using up2date with
http://mirror.datapipe.net/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/os/i386
I generally run up2date after seeing some legacy update notices containing
redhat 9.
So far, everything seems to be going fine.
rpm -q yum says package yum is not installed.
What's all this "yum" talk?
my /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file contains
yum rh9-base http://mirror.datapipe.net/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/os/i386
yum updates http://mirror.datapipe.net/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/updates/i386
what's the difference between up2date and yum?
Am I missing stuff by continuing to use up2date?
