I recommend installing yum-2.0.3-0.fdr.1.rh90.noarch.rpm from, say, http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/9/i386/RPMS.stable/ After installing it, you can do "man yum" and "man yum.conf" to start learning how to use it. "yum update" should do a lot for you.
I have been using up2date with http://mirror.datapipe.net/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/os/i386
I generally run up2date after seeing some legacy update notices containing redhat 9.
So far, everything seems to be going fine.
rpm -q yum says package yum is not installed. What's all this "yum" talk?
my /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file contains yum rh9-base http://mirror.datapipe.net/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/os/i386 yum updates http://mirror.datapipe.net/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/updates/i386
what's the difference between up2date and yum?
Am I missing stuff by continuing to use up2date?
