RPM Fusion provides software that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn't want to ship. That software is provided as precompiled RPMs for all current Fedora versions and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5; you can use the RPM Fusion repositories with tools like yum and PackageKit.

RPM Fusion is a merger of Dribble, Freshrpms, and Livna; our goal is to simplify end-user experience by grouping as much add-on software as possible in a single location. Also see our FoundingPrinciples.

take jada's advice.

or alternatively if you dont want rpmfusion:
according to http://rpm.livna.org/
use this link instead: http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm

to unrar a .rar:

yes, you've installed the linva rpm.

keep in mind linva is NOT unrar

you still need to install unrar! Razz

Thank you.

1) for unpacking the .rar file, go into the graphical package manager and search for unrar - that should be all you need to uncompress your download

2) external drive: platinummonkey's given you all the pointers you need - only thing to consider is that if the drive is formatted as NTFS does your ubuntu install have NTFS read/write support (any ubuntu users know?)

by default ubuntu has read only ntfs support.

you can add read write support by installing ntfs-3g in the same manner as installing unrar.
