 This depends on version 1.1 of directfb.  directfb is easily installed
-on a Fedora system using "yum install directfb", but the correct

+on a Fedora system using "yum install directfb", but at the time of this

 To update to the latest version of directfb, follow these steps:
 
-sudo yum remove directfb # If previously installed by yum
+Remove directfb, if you have it installed:
