Except... you're missing steps. At least:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join#Install_the_Client_Tools_.28Koji.29

That is pretty necessary to be successful in following your howto.

I'm of the opinion that it is better to have the extra text than to have
people confused as to how to accomplish a task, but perhaps someone with
better documentation/wiki writing skills than I could merge these two
documents into something where the short text expands out to the more
thorough longer text by clicking....
