If you look in the list archives, you'll see both this post:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-September/msg03414.html

and your original post:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-September/msg03326.html

That's the way to check if your post was delivered, not by double-posting - 
there is enough traffic on this list without double-posting (and thread 
hijacking, as you did with your second post).

As for your actual question, have a look at:

That looks quite like what you're trying to do.
