[WBEL-users] Updating WBEL - howto?

[Aly Dharshi]

Yum and Up2date are not particularly related. You can use yum seperately see 
/etc/yum.conf, as well as man yum. When you have setup your yum.conf correctly 
you can say yum check-update to see the updates and then yum install pkgname or 
yum update pkgname.

In FC 3 yum has evolved from a single yum.conf file to a set of separate 
individual repo files. If you want I can put up my yum.conf for you to 
reference. But that will have to be 2morrow, I am off to bed now.

	Cheers,

	Aly.
