Yours does not install fp-lib-table.  I just updated mine to incorporate some concepts
from yours  :)

I have people using this script now, people I am paying, so their time is my money, and I
plan on maintaining it, and will try and receive patches that don't break it in good faith.

I have serious doubts that the packages for YUM systems are all named the same as APT-GET
systems, so I think our install_prerequisites will need some further tuning on red had
(i.e. yum) systems.
