I've updated the package to include support for Fedora Core. You can
specify the release like so:
$ whichcd -v FC1 fedora
Searching in the FC1 database.
Searching for fedora...
CD-1:fedora-logos-1.1.20-1.noarch.rpm
CD-1:fedora-release-1-3.i386.rpm
[snip]
On a box running Fedora Core, "whichcd [package_name]" should default to
searching the Fedora Core 1 database.
