Ok... what am I doing wrong. I can't seem to get the "pre-extras" to show up 
as an option in up2date. I created a new f in /etc/yum.repos.d with EXACTLY 
the information given in the original announcement, but it doesn't work. Also 
tried pasting it into /etc/yum.conf to no avail.

Anyone wanna tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here's the contents of the 
"pre-extras.repo" file:

[pre-extras]
name=Pre Extras
baseurl=http://fedoraproject.org/pre-extras/3/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Any suggestions? Do I need to restart some service??? What? 

thanks.
