[Xastir] Fedora 9 Install of Xastir

[kc7zru]

Thanks for the ::thwak:: Fred,

I just did a clean install of Fedora 9 on my HP nx9500 laptop. Then did 
an Xastir install following the instructions in the 'how to' section of 
the Xastir documentations area of the wiki. All looks good!

I up dated the Fedora Howto while I was there. Changed the references to 
ImageMagick to GraphicsMagick.

As to the Xastir rpm for Fedor. Cool - that was submitted for 
consideration via the Fedora-Hams group a few months back. I knew it had 
been accepted and was going to be released. Nice to hear it's being 
found too! Xastir is officially part of the Fedora Distro now. (even if 
it's not included on the DVD, it is in the repositories).
