installing rpms on FC3

[Dawes, Stephen]

Raul,

There are some additional yum repositories that you can point to have
yum find and install the packages that you are looking for that are not
part of the default Fedora Core package. 

If you like I can dig-up some of the ones I point to on my set-up at
home, or you can do a google on yum repositories, and find some that
meet your needs.
