Details?  I haven't heard of this, and would be surprised if any security 
flaws had not been dealt with in the usual way.

It must be in the kickstart menu somewhere, but it's well hidden.  I have it 
on the Favorites page, so I must have found it, but I can't say where.  
Mandriva put it under Tools > System Tools - maybe I'm just not seeing it in 
Fedora?  Anyway, if you can't find it, the other way is to launch it from a 
root konsole - nothing special needed that way.
