The RPM Fusion team is proud to announce the public availability of our

''free'' and ''nonfree'' package repositories for Fedora 11 (Leonidas).

The repositories contain multimedia applications, kernel drivers, games

and other software the Fedora Project doesn't want to ship for various

reasons.

 

RPM Fusion repositories give Fedora 11 the ability to play all kinds of

audio and video formats -- including, but not limited to MP3s or video

files in MPEG or Xvid formats.

 

You can browse the repository contents for the i386 architecture via

these URLs (x86-64, ppc and ppc64 are supported as well):

 

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/repoview/index.html

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/repoview/index.html

 

To make RPM Fusion repositories available on a freshly installed Fedora

11 system run the following command:

 

{{{

su -c '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'

}}}

(Reminder: You need to cut'n'paste all three lines)

 

More details and a GUI based way how to configure and use RPM Fusion can

be found in our wiki at http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

 

You can also enable RPM Fusion while installing Fedora 11 -- details and

some screenshots that should give you an idea how everything works can

be found at http://rpmfusion.org/EnablingRpmFusionDuringFedoraInstall

 

Please note that the graphics drivers from AMD are not available in

the repositories right now as they are not compatible with the Kernel

from Fedora 11. Note that the Nvidia drivers are available via the

updates-repos only.

 

 

There is still a lot of room for a whole lot of improvements in RPM
