Anyone using Skype on FC11 ?

[jack craig]

Hi Randy,

I was not aware of this option, but it does sound good. if it works for 
fc11,
maybe it will work on moblin?! :O

i suspect i should remove the current skype install before trying this 
pkg, ??
in the below parameter changes, where did you make those? the skype gui 
or direct file edits?

Thx for this option! jackc...
