fedora /usr/share/dict/words file

Question

is there a way I can install /usr/share/dict/words file for Fedora 11 , (it should be a list of dictionary English words?)?

ditto for ubuntu? apt-get install words didn't do anything... — Tom, Sep 26, 2009 at 6:43

In general, if you want to install /someplace/some/random/file, you can just do yum install /someplace/some/random/file

It also works for non-English languages, for example sudo apt-get install wfrench or sudo apt-get install wswedish.
