FC4 yum repositories are sparse at the moment.

I don't install everything from RPM, but given that mplayer RPMS (for FC4)
aren't on any of the usual places yet (dag, freshrpms, etc.) , I have to compile
from source if I want to use it today.  For things like that, I use
checkinstall, but it doesn't currently work under 4.
