17. Add software repositories. A new feature in Fedora 8 lets you select software repositories
outside of Fedora from which you can select packages to install during the initial
Fedora installation. To use this feature, you need an active Internet connection. Select the
???Add additional software repositories??? button to establish an Internet connection and to
see the Add Repository pop-up.
For example, to use the RPM.livna.org repository to install many multimedia applications
and video drivers, you could enter livna as the repository name and http://rpm.livna
.org/fedora/8/i386 as the repository URL. Then select the Add repository button to
be able to add packages from that repository to your installation.
18. Customize Now. Select the Customize Now button after selecting the task (or tasks) you
want to install. This lets you see which categories from each task and which packages
within those categories are selected to be installed. It also lets you add or remove package
selections. Note that packages from multiple repositories can appear in the same category.
You are presented with categories of software on the left side of the screen and package
groups on the right side.
19. Choose optional packages. Select a category to see which groups it contains.
