thanks for the place to get the new RPMs. One problem though: I havnt registered at the RHN and when i launch up2date then a thing comes up asking me to register at RHN. I added this line:
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/
for rpm and rpm-src along with this after both: os updates freshrpms
What do you mean by the GPG Key? I cant find anything about a GPG key in sources.list so maybe i should reveal the whole file if anyone can spot what's wrong?
Regards, Ben

Ben, The file '/etc/apt/sources.list' can be edited with any text editor.
Foe example, using vi, at a command line, as root, enter 'vi /etc/apt/sources.list' then: -press 'i' (for insert) -then press 'enter', followed by an up-arrow. (That should give you a clear line at the top of the file, with the cursor there) -add the desired line (it will be the first line in the file) -press 'Esc' (escape) -press ':wq' (collin for command mode, then 'write' and 'quit'
That should do it for editing the file, you can always 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' to view it.
Hope that helps...
Here is a related email I received from a co-worked (I was on holidays)
regarding this:
"Works as advertised except for the import of GPG key. Get the key from
fedora.us instead of fedoralegacy.org. Just finished updating my RH9 install
at work."
