1st you'll need the newest version of up2date I don't know the download url but you'll figure that out.
2nd check http://dag.wieers.com to get known how to setup up2date to use yum.

syedjanu: up2date is and always has been a pain.

If you want yum functionality, then why not visit Fedora Legacy and install yum for RHL9: http://download.fedoralegacy.org/red...cy-utils/i386/

But keep in mind that Fedora Legacy support for RHL9 will end in December 2006: http://www.fedoralegacy.org/#main

Isn’t it time to move on to a supported distro?

Want to use a stable version of RedHat, but don’t want to pay subscription fees? Then use CentOS: http://www.centos.org/
