would it be safe for me to uninstall the up2date program? its just annoying how it starts each time fedora boots because i never use it for updating, but use yum instead..
if removing it is not a good idea, is there at least a way to make it so it doesn't start each time fedora loads up?
Turn it off -- right click on the icon and select exit, it should not restart - however you should turn off the rhnsd - a daemon that looks at the rhn periodically. Use Desktop --> System Settings -->Server Settings -->Services to remove.
You can surely remove the applet rpm -e rhn-applet, though you might want to throw a --test in there once just in case there are dependancies I'm unaware of.
I am curious about the 'blue' up2date circle in the panel. I currently have FC4 installed as a dual boot with WIN XP (still afraid to let go of the raft) and the 'blue' ball no longer changes color. When I had FC1, 2, 3 installed, if the system was outdated, it would indicate this with the ball becoming red. Now, I use yum to update and the ball remains blue even though yum may download 40-50 updates. Why is this?
