Also Fedora sometimes lacks the latest packages of something for

I've manually upgraded some LaTeX packages (and yes I reaaally had to
delete the old ones, not just install the new ones privately).
Anything in between FC6-FC8 would have been a downgrade for my laptop.
It looks like the history is going to repeat itself with F10 and
TeXLive 2008, but I'm digressing...
Wouldn't your efforts be better spent helping to get TexLive 2008 in
F10? Or maybe I should say "would have been better spent" at this
point since it may be too late for F10.
