hi, i haven't done it myself yet but i got this info in an email and
thought it may be of assistance concerning fedora updates.  eric.

"Just in case people haven't bottomed out all the threads in which this
is mentioned, the Fedora Core 1 yum (+ up2date) repositories shipped
with FC1 are not working.  This is most likely due to a web server
misconfiguration on fedora.redhat.com.

So you will get "File not found" errors when using the RHN applet,
up2date, and/or yum.  You can do one of two things:

1) EASIEST: wait until the problem is fixed (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110194).  You can
do this if you don't want to install any new software in the next 24
hours (or however long it takes to fix the problem).  YOu can ignore any
errors.

2) SLIGHTLY HARDER: change your /etc/yum.conf and
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.list to these two files temporarily:

http://www.xades.com/proj/yum.conf.bugfix
http://www.xades.com/proj/sources.bugfix

Of course, you can also perform substitutions by hand to your
/etc/yum.conf and sources.list files; check out the above two links for
examples."
