After searching for and replacing 'redhat-release' with
'whitebox-release' in both files, it no longer says waiting to connect
... however I now get this error when trying to connect to a yum source:

The applet has been unable to access the following information sources
in it's last attempts:

(lists the specific WBEL mirror sources)
-----------
The mirrors exist and up2date can connect to and download from the
sources.

I purposefully have ethereal and ethereal-gnome as not updated ... the
applet shows no updates present ... but up2date pointed to NCSU and ESAT
shows both ethereal and ethereal-gnome need updates.
