How did you install it, Ric?  I added the remi repo to yum, but it wants 
to add, and in some cases downgrade, about 150 megs worth of dependencies 
here just to install 2.0.0.2, so I canceled that puppy.  And the last 
time I put in the direct stuff for 2.0.0 from FF's site was a quick 
lesson in how quick one could crash FF, repeatedly.
