Just a note. I didn't write this because I think you should add
2.6 packages to planet-ccrma for RH9. But in case anyone with
RH9 or RH8 would like to try 2.6, the tutorial above really works. :)

BTW, I'm planning to upgrade to FC2 as soon as there is full
planet-ccrma support for it. 2.6 is really great, regarding, well, 
everything, at the moment. And RH8 is a bit old.
