APPLICATION OF THE MONTH

Fedora Frog

- Bring your Fedora Core 5 to life!

By: Marius Nestor, Linux Editor

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

Sun's licence

· Disable CD blocking in CD-ROM
· Set up Nautilus to open new folders in the same window
