Smile Is there a way to install apps in fedora 7 manually.(Without Internet)


Hi guys i'm using fedora 7 for past 2 months now. I'm really bugged up because can't play any music nor watch any movies since fedora do not provide codecs.

I've searched the entire forum about how to install apps manually. Many say that the best way is to use yum. But they haven't clearly mentioned on to use yum to install apps without internet. I have dvd full of apps that came with my fedora 7. so how should i proceed.

Some say u can download rpms and then install. Where can i find rpms specifically for fedora 7. I have searched the fedora's main web page but could not find rpms.

What are the packages i should download for playing avi, dvd, rm and mp3 files. Please let me know guys. I'm really bugged up.

Thank you.

The issue is that Fedora don't provide those codecs, so they clearly aren't going to be on their dvd.

When you have access, have a look at rpmforge.net or livna.org and see what they have for f7

mplayer is the usual favourite for this.
If you can post here, why can't you download from the net?
Also, FYI, F7 is out of support. You really need F8 or F9.
