Still now sure about this. I think the docs will be enough, since they
tell you how to install it, etc. But comments/suggestions/patches will
be gladly accepted on this issue.

It was indirectly. I've made a apt-rh8.php page also now, even though
the FL apt doesn't actually exist yet...

Yum is now mentioned there.

I've merged the apt/yum command summaries into their documentation files
and removed them from the downloads page. The download page now just
tells you to see to documentation pages for help.
