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.

http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

http://rpmfusion.org/EnablingRpmFusionDuringFedoraInstall

Code:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

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:
Code:
unrar <filename>.rar

no. You just have more options now to get packages. Smile

you still need to install unrar:
Code:
yum install unrar


then see my previous post to use unrar Razz

yes, you've installed the linva rpm.

Yes and no, installing packages is different in ubuntu (a debian based distro). you would use apt-get instead of yum. The nice thing is ubuntu has a very nice graphical package manager frontend - synaptic. I would recommend using that.

Ubuntu should auto-mount the devices for you. As for the send-to, that you will have to add for yourself. The easy way is to use your file manager and just copy-paste like you would on any other os Wink There is probably a link on your desktop to the external drive, or at least a "computer" icon for accessing your data. Usually it will be mounted in either /mnt or /media

"Send-to" is NOT the same as in windoze. But if you're looking for a script to make it act similar there are some here: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/faq.html designed for nautilus (gnome's default file manager).

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.
