[PlanetCCRMA] planet-ccrma kernel 2.4.20-4.ll on redhat 9

[Josh Steiner]

hey star (i think you are stalking me... how many mailing lists are we 
on now?  4? ;)

it turned out that i just needed apt 4.2 not 4.1, i managed to (finally) 
find an up to date rpm at apt.freshrpms.net ... i'm installing 
planet-ccrma as we speak, i'll let y'all know how it goes :)
