http://freshrpms.net/ is an excellent source of packages (including DVD
player and mp3 decoders).

Simply use the following command (as root):

# rpm -ivh \
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/1/yum/yum-2.0.7-2.fc.fr.noarch.rpm

Then:

# yum -y update

And your Fedora installation will be up-to speed in no time!  Just make
sure you don't do it over dial-up, it'll take hours.

However Core 1 has officially been declared as legacy now, you'd be
better starting with Core 2 or Core 3 (C3 is out on 8th Nov).

Thanks
Mark
