Livna Repository

In Livna repository you can find additional programs and multimedia codecs. Install it like this:
$ sudo rpm -hiv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm
$ sudo rpm --import sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

** Note: From now on you should choose only one of the Livna and FreshRPMs repositories for installing additional packages. I prefer the freshrpms repository. You can disable the one you don't want or both of them like that:

$ sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo
or
$ sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo

and change "enabled=1" to "enabled=0". For the rest of this guide I will suppose that you have both of them disabled and each time you want to add a package you will enabled the appropriate one.

In a similar way the plugin from Adobe:

Alternativelly you can install the Adobe Fedora Repository and install/update Flash plugin easilly. Open a console and type:

$ sudo rpm -Uvh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm Now you can install flash plugin by typing:

$ sudo yum install flash-plugin
and update it like that:

$ sudo yum update flash-plugin

By default this repository will be enabled. I prefer to disable it and enable it manually each time I want to look if there is an update for Flash Plugin. To odo so type:

$ sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo
And change enabled=1 to enabled=0. Now whenever you want to look for an update you can type:

$ sudo yum --enablerepo=adobe-linux-i386 update flash-plugin

=====================/////////////////////////////

In the case of ATRPMS for RHEL/CEntOS/SL follow the instructions provided by http://atrpms.net/ and I recommend to set to 0 the "enabled". Then in order to install a package you can do as root:

yum --enablerepo=atrpms install x
