I am building headless machines, and I'd like to be able to have a 
post-install script that can set up various things including webmin.

Normally I grab the latest rpm from sourceforge, but you have to jump a 
few hoops in a browser to get a url - I could jsut save the url, but 
then when there is a webmin update, it will be wrong again.

Which leads to another question for Jamie: Is it possible to have 
sourceforge or other repositories have a link to "webmin-latest.whatever"?

It doesn't seem available int he default repositories anyway, but why 
not use yum if it were available?

I think it is too because I have asked that in the past. But that is not 
my question for today although it is a good one :)
