OK, all of the fastrack RPMS (for CentOS 4 only) are now on the CentOS
master mirror and should be synced to all the CentOS mirrors shortly.

These RPMS are built from the upstream fastrack channel and are
specifically not part of the default upstream channels and MUST be
subscribed to separately, the same is true for CentOS as well.  Here is
a list of the upstream fastrack updates for EL 4:

(Note:  rdesktop is now superseded by the version in the main repo)

You can not install these via yum unless you add the FastTrack
repository to your configuration.  See this link for details (Look for
the "CentOS-Fasttrack" section:
