Yep, it also happened to me, many times up2date was just unresponsive (i.e. it appeared to be hanged). > I don't know how it works in xoslinux, but in my fedora boxes I don't > use it because it used to fail, and also because I'm happy with yum. I don't know if or how up2date was improved post FC2 but I'm running rawhide and up2date has been very reliable. I was able to upgrade my system without problems with up2date during the early yum 2.1.x unstable periods. > > > I'd really like to interface the rhn applet with yum, or at least to > > > make it configurable so you could launch your preferred update command - > > > in my case `xterm -e yum update` :) > > > > What do you mean with "interface the rhn applet with yum"?
