Thanks for the feedback. Two icons are not that much of a distraction.

It was great that a link to Harald's efforts was passed onto this list.  
I used these versions and they seemed to work pretty good.
I found three versions of gcc-gnat with the dep resolver on my Test box  
for FC3.

I saw that the channels were all blank. The installed packages seemed  
to be on the selection list. Of course with no channels, nothing was  
available to install.

Have you tried this version?

http://people.redhat.com/harald/RedCarpet-FC3/

I installed them in a local directory that I setup in my
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file. I then ran "up2date red-carpet" to  
install the packages. Up2date resolved the dependecies for rcd, etc.

I have not tried Vladimir's efforts.

Thsnks for bringing up the program and thanks to Harald for providing  
the link to his works.

It's amazing how much "mature wisdom" resembles being too tired.
