coverup Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I installed FC4 a week ago, the install went smoothly. For the first time in many years I did not have to tweak xorg.conf, everything works out of box. However, on the usability side, unlike mandrake, FC4 comes with a very minimal set of packages. I miss some of my favorites such as mplayer, xine, gv, kpackage. Does anybody know a good repo with all the goodies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) Livna is the place to get non-GPL packages, although their quality isn't that great... AFAIK it does not have Core4 binaries yet (un)officially- read about that @ their configuration page... BTW if you want your Linux being used mainly as a multimedia workstation, Fedora is not a good choice.

coverup Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 No, it's a work stattion... Nonetheless, gv (ghostview) is a GNU app, you would expect the GNU stuff should have been included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
