Yes, the ATrpms packages are tied to the distributions they were created for, 
so the one suggested only works for FC1.

You can download the srpms from ATrpms and experiment with them to rebuild on 
FC2-test1.

I highly recommend anyone just starting out to NOT use a Fedora Core 2 test 
release. Use FC1 until FC2 final is out, tested, and packages are built, 
unless you're very adventurous and somewhat massochistic.
