Most RHL9 packages install and work fine on Severn. For the few which
don't, I've rebuilt them against Rawhide, and they're available here :

http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/rawhide/

Gaim : For the spell checking option
Sylpheed-claws : For the spell checking option too
Transcode : For the ImageMagick .so.5 dependency
Yum : To be pre-configured for Rawhide use
