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
