CentOS - Jan 2007 - Can up2date use a local yum mirror?

If so, how do you configure the up2date client that comes with CentOS  
to look at the local yum mirror?  Conversely, how do you disable the  
CentOS Network Alert Notification Tool so that users won't see the  
"throbbing red circle" and be tempted to launch the up2date client?

Thanks,
Alfred

I'm not sure if this is the proper way to do so, but I simply remove the
 alert tool from the panel. Right-click and remove from panel.

After that, when I log out, I choose to save the current setup which
won't load it back up next time you log in. If you don't save, the thing
keeps coming back every time you log back in.

Again, not sure if it's the "proper" way, but it's what I
always do so I
don't have to look at it.

You can add or change the source of updates used by up2date by editing the file
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.  There are examples in
the comments for using apt or yum repositories, or just a directory full of RPM
files.

Good luck!
