Yes, that is what I want (I did check), and thanks very much again for all your help!!! 

But I was wondering if this really does not belong to the kernel (and should come in with the install) where it originally resides, and whether I should fill a bug/feature request for this on bugzilla. Perhaps someone can enlighten me on the logic (and I am sure that there is some logic) behind Fedora's choice.

Also, kcbench does pull in 525 MB worth of data!

Best wishes,
Ranjan
