How to install your very own XMonad XMas

Last night, I posted up some xmonad packages for Fedora 8, sans install instructions. Here they are now. Right now these packages are only for i386, although the SRPMs are there, so if someone can compile them for another target platform, I'll include them, if I don't figure it out first. Do the following as root:


# wget http://fedorapeople.org/~ynemoy/xmonad/ynemoy-xmonad-1.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm
# rpm -i ynemoy-xmonad-1.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm
# yum install xmonad.i386 ghc681-xmonad-contrib.i386
# rm ynemoy-xmonad-1.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm #clean up a bit


This should install xmonad. To set it up, you'll need the directions from the following sites.

Any chance something like this could be made available
for fc7? I'd love to get this running on my OLPC XO.
Tried building from source, but got stuck on compiling
Cabal-1.2.2.0 (yum installs ghc 6.6.1, comes with the
insufficient Cabal-1.1.6.2). The XO ran out of memory.
Added some swap & retried, but then ended up with a
kernel panic.
It would be so sweet to have a package to install!
