Add critical repositories to your Fedora 10 install

After a Live CD install of Fedora 10 on an old laptop, I noticed that Fedora only included Fedora repositories for non-commercial apps. Without third-party repositories, Fedora will not play/rip CDs/DVDs/MP3 and other media. Let's fix this after the click.

:: Select Applications | System Tools | Terminal from the GNOME menu
:: Enter or copy the following lines one at at time (yellow=Terminal prompt):

[user@fedora ~] $ su
Password:
[root @fedora user] # rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
[root @fedora user] # rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
[root @fedora user] # rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-*

:: To verify success, select System | Administration | Software Sources from the GNOME menu - if successful, several additional repositories will be displayed
:: Install software by selecting System | Administration | Add/Remove Software from the GNOME menu, search for DVD and view the new apps not available previously.
