The trick with using RedHat's Up2date is to use wget to download the
updates from http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au server, or elsewhere (launch
up2date and get the version required. Put these downloads into the
/var/spool/up2date directory, then run the RHNetwork stuff. If it finds
the update files there, then it uses them.

The problem I've found with the RH update is that it download process is
extremely unreliable. YMMV.
