You should read release notes for, say, latest Red Hat beta, Severn. There, as in release notes of previous Red Hat products, clearly says that there's existing overlaping issue between Ximian Desktop and Red Hat official packages, hence Ximian packages are not supported by Red Hat. You should choose between these two. If you want to use XD2, then up2date screaming is not relevant to you, disregard it. Follow the path of Red Carpet. And vise versa. If you use Red Carpet with no XD2, and not checking XD2 channel, then Red Carpet would show exactly same update packages as up2date. On Äet, 2003-07-24 at 18:23, D. D.
