Call it "Media Whore" and by clicking on it you agree to install "legal-iffy" software from a remote site in France. Everything pours in to your machine, and the remote site in France does their best to have everything work at once, so they save the day.

Except for the script that says something like
yum install xmms.mp3 vlc xine mplayer mplayer-skins w32codec (etc.)
