Looking good.

Many thanks to Fletch for getting this going.

One question: for what OS/platform will you be supporting yum repos?
Will the same RPM work on, say, Fedora 7, Fedora 8. CentOS 4.4, CentOS
5.0, etc?

I think having a yum repo available with a high-quality RPM-package
makes Redhat-flavour linux a very good choice for a SqueezeCenter
machine. Fletch's Instant SqueezeCenter show's how easy it is to install.
