Looks like Warren (fedora.us) has already set up the FC2T2 "extras" for 
quickie updates (see the attached yum.conf file).

However, because the guy who was responsible for one of the rpms screwed 
up and then went on vacation, yum/apt did not work until this morning.

Since I have gone through so many unsuccessful trials, I don't know 
whether the default yum.conf file would work.  But you are recommended 
to use my q&d but at least battle-tested yum.conf file to do your update.

Fedora Core 2 Test 2 has been out for only a week or so (?), and already 
the update involved Giga byte of data and it took more than a couple of 
hours to complete.  You will be getting brand new the GIMP 2.0 (!!!) and 
OpenOffice.org 1.1.1.  Things are getting a little crazy (and dizzy), 
but the pace is addictively exciting.  wayne
