First you need to download the source code and compile it. Because there are no nasty dependencies (except for sg3_start), this should be no problem.
$ tar xvzf spindown-x.x.x.tar.gz $ cd spindown-x.x.x.tar.gz $ make # make install
Due to a bug in lsb_start_daemon the call the start_daemon will hang. Apply this patch to fix the problem on Fedora 10 & 11.

g++ is required dependency.
Spindown only depends on sg_start. This tool is part of the package sg3-utils (in Debian).
