Dear all
I installed Fedora Core 2 and use u2date to update my system. Sorry to
compare this, but I would just like as in Windows Update to download the
important rpm's (security patch's) and not new
programms,developer-versions,....
Now on every mirror there are 3 directories:
.../os/
.../updates/
.../updates/testing/
which of these directories hold this security patches or how do I need
to configure the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources -file to just donwload this
patches?

what do I need to add to the sources -file to automate the downloading
and installing of the patches periodicaly?

Thanks Peter

ps. I will test the yum service later, first I would like to have the
up2date service properly up and running.
