Then we should fix the bug.

What I meant is to install the driver via RPM Fusion ofcourse. All we need
just a GUI solution. Like you said DeviceKit.

I think, you didn´t get my point. I know, this legal issues. All I want to
say, we have to find a easiest way to install all kind of codecs at once,
that anyone can do it, instead of using codes.

Yes, but not the DVD media as source. I can edit source to add DVD as
software media, you also can, but other people, who will use Fedora for the
first time, they will not know.

Just I have tried to install amarok from a rpm by double clicking, what I
have got ¨Local Install Failed : Can't install
/home/angel/Desktop/amarok-2.0-2.fc10.i386.rpm¨. Is it a bug?

No, it´s not. Go to Administrator>Software Sources. You will not get any
options for DVD as software source.

Yes, delta rpm is coming soon. I am very happy for it.

I read the feature lists several time. Read my reply. Give me solution. I
give this solution to other people, they are waiting for it.
