Probably.  I'll have to look at it.  If the CentOS template needs it,
then the Fedora template would also probably need it as well, especially
in the autodev case.  The Oracle template also doesn't do anything
with /dev/fd and it should be very similar to the CentOS layout.  I'm
not sure what the deal is.  Maybe they're providing it in their startup.
