F-12 and Skype -

[jack craig]

quick heads up here, i swapped versions a bit too starting out.

i got snarled by the .skype dir remaining that yum didnt remove.
installing a second Skype version got real bizarre results.

i finally moved .skype .skype- and reinstalled the cited version, then i 
got happiness.

YMMV, good luck, jackc...
