Adding the RPM Fusion repositories during install

FOR Adding the RPM Fusion repositories during install do this:)
Note:Before you start installing Fedora making sure you have a supported network card and over which a connection to the internet can be established. Start the install and move through the different anaconda screens where you select language, keyboard layout, root password and target volume until you get to the Additional Tasks screen:
then click on
add additional software repositories

Then follow these steps to enable the RPM Fusion free repository:

  1. In the Additional Repositories section, click the Add additional software repositories button.

  2. In the Edit Repository dialog, set the Repository name: 'RPM Fusion Free'
  3. Set Repository type: HTTP/FTP

  4. Set Repository URL depending distribution version and the architecture. For Fedora 10 on i386 use
    http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/x/i386  note:where x is version of fedora
  5. Click URL is a mirror list

  6. Click OK

Notes:

  • For other architectures like x86_64 or PPC/PPC64, change i386 to x86_64, ppc, or ppc64 in the repository URL.

  • Packages in the nonfree repository require packages from the free repository to be available, hence you must enable the free repository if you want to enable the nonfree repository.

  • If you enable the Fedora Updates repository during install then you have to activate the RPM Fusion Updates repositories during install in addition to the RPM Fusion Release repositories. The URLs for the Updates repositories are similar to the ones for the release repositories. Some examples:

    Repository

    URL for i386
