[Guide] Fedora 10 Post-Installation tips

I was originally going to save a .txt file with all of this info,so I'd have it all in one place, but then I figured hey, I'll save someone else the trouble of finding all of the information as they need it, like I didTo start off, login as super user
Code:
su -
and put in your password when it asks.

First of all, your best friend rpmfusion
Code:
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Code:
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Now, Multimedia codecs:
Code:
yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-nonfree
XMMS + MP3
Code:
yum install xmms xmms-mp3
MPEG, AVI, DVD, Quicktime:
Code:
yum install xine xine-lib libdvdcss
Now, for Adobe Flash player x64, congrats linux users, on being the first to have 64-bit Flash! Download it from the following link:
Code:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
Now, Extract the libflashplayer.so file into /home/*yourusernamehere*
open a konsole and cd to your /home:
Code:
cd /home/*yourusername*
Now,
Code:
ls libflashplayer.so
And finally:
Code:
cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
Lastly, I was getting very slow speeds browsing the web in Fedora, and getting constant unknown host errors. This was solved by disabling IPV6. (This is not necessary unless you are noticing slow internet speeds.)
To do this,
Code:
nano /etc/modprobe.conf
and add:
Code:
alias net-pf-10 off
Then save and exit. The instuctions for nano are at the bottom of your screen, press CTRL + whatever key it says.


Congrats, your Fedora 10 install should now be able to do anything you want it to. All info in this post was obtained from the following sites. I give them total credit, as all the information I posted here was basically copied and pasted from them. This is my first time writing a "guide", so constructive criticism is welcome
