Hi

I think there was a module for nautilus, IIRC. I remember too that eazel
had a Red Carpet like system on there website, in the early days, and from
inside nautilus one could download and install RPMs. I don't know what
has become of it now.

P.S. Although it would be cool to have a nautilus component for this. Maybe
using File Roller's components would be fruitful.
