Digressing a bit, but I like Kpackage for browsing a RPM or Deb before 
installing, as well as its main function.
I had to dig up RPM's for  kpackage and a dependency 
(kdeadmin-3.5.-0.1.fc6.i386.rpm) for FC, but haven't found the 
corresponding RPM's for F7.  Anyone know if, and where, they exist?
