[NBLUG/talk] Automatic Redhat Downloads or a Hack?

[Warren Raquel]

You could just cut out it's feet. rpm -e up2date. (Don't forget 
up2date-gnome if it's installed too.)

I suggest installing apt-get and synaptic (apt-get's gui front end) from 
http://www.freshrpms.net to do updates at your leisure.
