er, yes - I thought you could do that.

so where do I find the right stuff for FC2?  The up2date process
points me to RHN, which appears to be utterly irrelevant to Fedora. 

This all started when I tried to play an MP3 file, and found XMMS had
been "nobbled".  6 months ago on FC1 I did indeed download an RPM off
the web and install it, and it worked.  Can't remember how I did it. 
Perhaps I'll give up and go back to stinky old XP.
