The problem with initscripts and ppp is know. Check 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=127554 . It's been 
closed with "works for me" , so it still happens , we need to get it 
reopened...
The problem xine-lib probably is related to something else.. Which error 
do you get? Where you got the package?
And about checkrootkit: It never gave good results on FC1 , so I never 
cared to run it on FC2. Try to use verbose mode to get the PID of the 
processes . Then , do a cat /proc/PID/status and see if it's a valid 
process . Most of the times , it's only a real program... (Most of the 
times , it was xmms here... also evolution , ypbind and a few other 
things...)
