Seems fine for me.

This needs to be smart enough to detect if the system is Fedora and if it is a 
version compatible with "updates" (17 or upper ?).

It should be noticed that Ubuntu has a similar kind of preference, but it uses 
the modules on a separate place.

It does:
        $ run make -C linux todaytar DIR=~/tmp/media_build

The script should be updating the media_build to the very latest version.

I'll double check if this is happening fine.
