I think he was...
Anyway, its really no where need as complicated as that. All I did was
> rpm -Uvh
http://remi.collet.free.fr/rpms/fc6.i386/remi-release-1-2.fc6.remi.noarch

don't use them (or gnome in fact). Firefox 2 seems just fine without those
updates....
If you do you might have to I guess ?
