Fedora 10 Setup Guide

A nice guide: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f10.html

1. Setup RPM Fusion repo
2. Install nvidia driver from RPM Fusion

   # yum install akmod-nvidia

   and reboot

3. Update Dell Firmware - I had to use the following to instead of the update_firmware command:

   # smbios-rbu-bios-update -u -v --hdr=/usr/share/firmware/dell/bios/system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_0x01c2_version_a10/bios.hdr --reboot

4. Install:
   • libcompizconfig
   • compizconfig-backend-gconf
   • gconf-editor (I have no idea why this package wasn't installed by default)
5. Install the 64bit alpha Flash client ¹⁾ - make sure to get the newest version, and extract it to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
6. Enable xine as the totem backend:

   # totem-backend -b xine

7. Setup the livna repo:

   su -c "rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm"

8. Install dvd tools and codecs:

   • yum install libdvdcss libdvdnav totem-xine xine-lib-extras-freeworld

   • yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg

9. Install gnome-terminal-launcher
10. Configure sendmail and procmail: ²⁾

    • yum install sendmail-cf

    • comment the localhost restriction in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

      dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

    • rebuild the sendmail configs:

      # make -C /etc/mail
