Adding firstboot and rhn-applet should do it or doing "yum remove up2date up2date-gnome" should do it. On the couple systems I have I generally remove the up2date & rhn cruft. Firstboot is only used the first time the system boots after the inital install and rhn-applet is the update notification icon. Regards, Paul Berger
