Hi there,

A few days around Christmas with no Internet connection, a test computer
on which I could do real complete reinstalls and... you get the "Freshrpms
package compilation"!

What it is : It's an "Extra" CD to install freshrpms packages on a newly
installed Fedora Core system. See the included README and browse around
the content of the CD for more information. Basically, the idea was to
make the freshrpms Multimedia stuff installable is a really simple manner
and without even needing and Internet connection.

Current limitations and known problems (revision 0.0) :
- Only i386 for now (don't want to waste time with other archs until the
  work on general stuff is done).
- Only FC4 for now (same reason).
- Does not work from firstboot right after install, but does work from
  nautilus and from firstboot if run later on (bug in FC4/firstboot!?).
- Packages from the last few days aren't included.

It's also worth noting that some packages from Extras had to be included
(as dependencies), others were on purpose, some from Core were also
needed, and some updates (most notably libstdc++) too.

Please report any bugs. General feedback is very welcome too :-)

PS: I wanted to do this for a long time already! Finally!
