Well it says:

" On CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 ( yum version 2.2 and higher ) : Download 
file : kbsingh-CentOS-Misc.repo 
<http://centos.karan.org/kbsingh-CentOS-Misc.repo> and save it in 
/etc/yum.repos.d/"

And that is what I did, so there may be a bit of contrary info here.

um.  Oh.  Now I get it.   I thought 'media' meant a repo of media 
apps!   Silly me...
