	Hmmm ... I *think* the PackageKit in F9 (when it get to it) will 
let me do that with a couple of clicks. I know there's a way to add livna 
to F8 -- I've done it -- but it's been a while. I *think* I browse to 
livna.org, download an rpm, install it, and then just use yum as always, 
with one more file yum.repos.d; I'll check those things, and if it's so, 
I'm golden -- no reply required. If I'm confused, prithee divulge one 
more such excellent clue!
