Fedora 11

This is a short howto get the Nvidia drivers and multimedia stuff installed on your new Fedora 11.
I assume you have a newly installed system before following this. The first thing you want to do before you run

`yum update`

is to install yum-presto:

`yum install yum-presto`,

and save some time and bandwidth. Next up is to install dkms and the devel package for your running kernel,type in

`uname -r`

in your terminal, and if there is no PAE in there install kernel-devel:

`yum install kernel-devel`

Otherwise install kernel-PAE-devel:

`yum install kernel-PAE-devel`

Then run  yum update, and when that’s done, reboot.

Nvidia drivers, for this we need to enable the RPMfusion repositories:

`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`.

Then install the driver, I use the akmod-nvidia package which builds the required module on reboot:

`yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64`,

then reboot.

When you get back you can go to http://www.adobe.com and download the yum flash-plugin for fedora, or click here and install:

`http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(YUM)`

The multimedia stuff is next:

`yum install flash-plugin  gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-freeworld gecko-mediaplayer`

That’s that, you should now be able to enjoy all of the webs offerings!
