You may wonder what this is? It's a new script that can easily install many packages in your Fedora Core 5 OS.

Fedora Frog application is a GUI install script that "jumps" your Fedora Core 5 to life in no time...

I know there are a couple of good software out there that can do the same thing, and even better... but as always, in Linux, one software is not enough to do a job, so another alternative wouldn't bother anyone.

This is what Fedora Frog brings to the table:

? Install extra repositories [RPMForge] ? Note: Not all repositories are mutually compatible. See the Warning mixing repositories ? Install GUI frontend for yum [yumex] ? Install commonly needed multimedia codecs ? Install DVD playback capability ? Install Java JRE and its plugin for Firefox ? Note: You will have to accept Sun's licence ?
