Quick Extra package install script for multimedia, general update, + system utilities

[kiram9]

Here is a small script that I wrote, after I got tired of doing about 20 steps to get yum configured to install extra multimedia codec support. Basically it prompts you for a few different packages to get installed, and then installs them all at once, as well as installing the yum configuration from fedorafaq, and importing gpg keys for each repository. I have debuged it till It worked on my machine. It is ment for fresh (or reasonably fresh installs, If it doesnt work for you, try posting back here. I would like to get some feedback about this, as its my first bash script. Also, if your security consurned, you might want to look through the script to see what it does. I make no guarantees what will happen if you run this script, (monkeys might steal your computer) but I think it is safe.

Instructions:
Download, or copy the script over to your machine.
open a turminal, or open the script in your file browser and click run.
Follow the instructions, and then sit back as the script gets you all set up for a slightly more useful (and multimedia friendly) system environment.

What it does: (all selectible)
installs media codec support, a dvd player.
ndiswrapper.
ntfs support
macromedia flash
performs a system update
installs drivers for either nvidia or ATI radion cards.

direct link is Fedorafaq_setup0.1.sh

Here is a copy of the script, incase my link goes down

#! /bin/bash
# This is a small post install fedora core configuration script that is based upon the instructions at www.fedorafaq.org. It configures yum with settings based upon the repositories lists at fedorafaq, adds each repositor's GPG keys, updates the kernel, adds NTFS, Xine, VLC and windows multimedia codec support.
