When I try to use up2date it freezes up when trying to download
updates? Sometimes it says that the gnu license is bad and asks to

Scott are you using dialup by chance? I too have had problems with
up2date. My problem is a little different and only seems to happen with
larger downloads. (i.e. a kernel update)
My solution is to use the RHN-applet to discover what packages need to
be updated, then to use gftp to go to one of the Fedora Core mirror
sites and manually download the updates, then rpm -Uvh the updates. I
find it a whole lot faster!
