As others have stated, skip 7.1 and go to 7.3. Your support period will
be longer.

It's a bit of a pain to get up2date configured in the first place. I
can't remember exactly which packges you need, but you should look at
the following:
- grab the *rpm*, *rhn* and *up2date* rpms and put them in one
directory.
- When running your rpm commands, use -Uvh instead of -ivh and put
multiple rpms on the same command line. This allows rpm to resolve
the dependencies more easily.
So, you'd end up doing some like:
# rpm -Uvh *rhn*.rpm *rpm*.rpm *up2date*.rpm *python*.rpm
