To complete the Fodora 8 Installation

There are some repositories which I strongly recommend Fedora Users to check out. You will need them to complete your Fedora installation with required desired packages:
  1. Fedora Solved: http://fedorasolved.org/
  2. Linva: http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/
  3. JPackage: http://www.jpackage.org/
  4. DAG Archive: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages.php
  5. FreshRPMS: http://freshrpms.net/
  6. Adobe Repository: http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
  7. And more unofficially made RPMS: check package list here http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/mega-merge.php
In my case I needed to have
  • A reliable Java Runtime and Development Kit
  • Working tweaked drivers for Video, Sound, WiFi
  • Multimedia Software, for mp3, mp4, flv, ogg ....
  • Some Web Browsers with essential plugins and add-ons
  • PDF Readers
  • Fine Farsi Fonts
1. Java Development packages


2. Drivers (Nvidia Display Adapter)

3. Multimedia Softwares (xmms, VLC Player)

4. Web Browsers (Firefox, Opera + Addons)
- Flash Player
- Video Downloader (Video Download Helper)
- Theme ( MacFoxII Graphit)
FireFox
Firefox Essential Plugins:

Opera
Download and install opera from: http://www.opera.com
Don't forget Flash Player plugin

5. Acrobat Reader
Just add the adobe repository, this rpm from Adobe will do that for you: http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

then just use yum to install or update Adobe products:
yum install acroread

6. Farsi Fonts
