Well, I haven't read the up2date docs, but I "presume" that it will
keep my online systems current. The problem is that I only have 1
online system, and it's my laptop, which I carry to a friends house
twice a week to get access to the net; and the rest of the time it is
attached to my home network of 4 more systems, all running different
collections of tools, but all running rh7.2

So, it makes more sense to me to just get _all_ the updates, and then
update the home systems 'offline'.

However, if you have different data...... I can be taught!
