[ILUG] up2date using irish mirrors and Freshrpms

[ILUG] up2date using irish mirrors and Freshrpms

Hi Guys,

I thought I'd follow on my post with the yum.conf with the same settings
for the up2date app. These settings mean that I can see if I've updates
on the Fedora and Freshrpm yum channels with the up2date alert
notification tool in the gnome panel notification area. It basically
uses the same mirrors that I had in my yum.conf.

Open the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file in your fav text editor and
comment out the lines that say 
yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1
yum updates-released
http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1

And paste in these lines.
yum fedora-core-1 http://ayo.ie.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/1/i386/core
yum updates-released
http://ayo.ie.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/1/i386/updates
yum freshrpms http://ayo.ie.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/1/i386/freshrpms

There should one yum URL per line above, in case your mail client wraps
the text.
