Matthias and Craig, thank you both, I got it working :)

The good news - Matthias, good instructions.

The bad news - My ability to follow Matthias' instructions were not so 
good.  I didn't have the ATRPMS repo turned on when I started.  Various 
things would not install, so.... I attempted to install the components 
directly from the ATRPM's site.  I must have gotten a bad combination of 
something.  I eventually got the box so horsed-up, it froze and wouldn't 
boot.

I ended up killing it off and re-installed F7, set up the ATRPM repos, 
and all of Matthias' steps worked great.  It's a test box, so I wipe it 
clean occasionally anyways.

A quick note - I got the link to set up the ATRPMs repo from 
www.wilsonnet.com (another great site).  It still includes the "c" in 
FC7, rather than F7, which results in an error using yum.  A simple edit 
of /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo fixes it (I removed the c's in the path).

Thanks again everyone, very cool program!
