I found it under contrib :)

But I also found another conflict, for some reason tao-logos from Tao1 is 
now called redhat-logos in Tao4??

I guess this needs to be changed before going final? I can probably solve 
it but forcing the uninstall and forced install of the logos (and maybe 
anaconda-images)

CentOs seems to have been contacted by RatHeads lawyers that not all 
RatHead trademarks have been removed from the website.

I guess it's better to stay clear of these problems :)
