Fedora 10
Fedora 10 was released this week, and you can get your copy here. True to form, I post my notes of what I usually have to do to after a fresh install.
First of all, have a look at
"Personal Fedora 10 Installation Guide" by Mauriat Miranda
(http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f10.html)
Here's my quick summary, tailored to my needs:
yum -y update
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-*
yum -y install AdobeReader_enu ant OpenEXR OpenEXR_Viewers amarok arj autopano-sift-C azureus bash-completion bittorrent-gui colordiff digikam dosbox dvdauthor dvgrab easytag emacs enblend flash-plugin gimp glipper gnome-mplayer gnome-volume-manager gnucash gqview gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-ugly gtkpod htop hugin k3b-extras-freeworld kdegraphics kdiff3 kino kover kqemu lame-mp3x libcddb libdvdcss liberation-fonts mencoder mjpegtools mozplugger mp3gain ncftp obexfs java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin java-1.6.0-openjdk-src openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-writer pidgin-otr python-psyco qemu-launcher qtpfsgui rdesktop samba subversion thunderbird thunderbird-lightning transcode ufraw ufraw-gimp unrar vcdimager vdr-mp3 vlc w3m wine wireshark-gnome xine xine-lib-extras xine-lib-extras-freeworld xmms xmms-faad2 xmms-mp3 xmms-pulse
wget -O /tmp/skype_fc.rpm http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-fc7
yum --nogpgcheck localinstall /tmp/skype_fc.rpm
wget -O /tmp/libdvdcss.rpm http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/9/i386/libdvdcss-1.2.9-5.lvn9.i386.rpm
OR
wget -O /tmp/libdvdcss.rpm ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/rpm.livna.org/fedora/archive/9/x86_64/libdvdcss-1.2.9-5.lvn9.x86_64.rpm
yum --nogpgcheck localinstall /tmp/libdvdcss.rpm
wget -O /tmp/all-20071007.tar.bz2 http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2
mkdir -p /usr/lib/codecs
tar -jxvf /tmp/all-20071007.tar.bz2 --strip-components 1 -C /usr/lib/codecs/
Finally, if SELinux is enabled, you might have to run:
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0'
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/sse2/libswscale.so.0.6.1'
This should take care of most media players, flash and pdf plugins, Skype, and iPod support through gtkpod, and other useful programs.
