I don't know about sparc support, but I configured up2date on a RH 6.2 Intel
system just today. I did not install any of the gnome crap but you should
remember that there are multiple versions of up2date. Don't install the
up2date-gnome package. I had to upgrade/install python, python-xmlrpc, rpm
(which required db3 as a new install), rhn_register, popt, python-popt (also
new I think), and I was in business. If I were you, I'd start with rpm -ivh
up2date-2*.rpm --test, and then install the dependencies from Red Hat's
update site until you get there.
These are the packages that my system needed updated (rpm-by-date is a handy
tool!):
python-1.5.2-27.6.x Thu 17 Jan 2002 01:23:51 PM CST
python-xmlrpc-1.5.1-6.x.7 Thu 17 Jan 2002 01:26:49 PM CST
db3-3.1.17-4.6x Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:07:16 PM CST
rpm-4.0.2-6x Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:07:55 PM CST
rpm-build-4.0.2-6x Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:07:55 PM CST
rpm-devel-4.0.2-6x Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:07:55 PM CST
rpm-python-4.0.2-6x Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:27:11 PM CST
rhn_register-2.7.2-6.x.8 Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:28:21 PM CST
popt-1.6.2-6x Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:29:49 PM CST
python-popt-0.6-1 Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:30:13 PM CST
up2date-2.7.11-6.x.1 Thu 17 Jan 2002 02:30:18 PM CST
And since I *know* someone will ask for how to list rpm's by install date,
here's the script:
[root@corpftp ewilts]# cat rpm-by-date
#!/bin/bash
rpm -qa --queryformat '%{installtime} %{name}-%{version}-%{release}
%{installtime:date}\n' | sort -g | sed -e 's/^[^ ]* //'

The kernel is a separate issue. Our kernel is/was current, but as far as I
know, none of the packages should demand the latest kernel.
