It's actually a little too late for that - i uninstalled it from both
machines this morning. Now, if I try to re-install, I get this:

nsaction Check Error:

If I try to reinstall those packages it tells me:

[jayson at desktop ~]$ sudo yum reinstall fftw-libs-quad fftw-libs-double
fftw-libs-single fftw-libs-long

Error: Nothing to do

...and if I try to remove them, there are a ton of dependancies to be
removed. Not sure what to do at this point.

I'm really hoping I haven't borked my installs. I'm pretty new to Fedora
- I'm an Ubuntu refugee. I felt pretty comfortable with Yum having used
CentOS extensively on servers, and I was a RH/FC user through FC2 before
going to Ubuntu. I've never run a beta release of Fedora. Until now,
I've had ZERO issues...
