Sure, enable F-9 repositories temporarily just to install vlc (once F-9 has 0.9.5).

I've been long time fedora user (five years) and was a bit proud of fedora beeing on the cutting edge netbook market (one reason for me to buy acer) and saw this as a opportunity for fedora to increase it's market share. As a summary I hope acer users are not ruled out of rpmfusion users, as one could imagine from the earlier statements.

Ok, that's fair, rules of the game are clear to me. I just like so much of this acer modified fedora ( it's really fast, lightweight and simple userinterface), very suitable for a netbook. I woudn't use that on a normal computer though. I'll probably continue to use it as long as it's compatible with fedora community goodies and don't cause much trouble. After that it's time to change. Let's close this. Thanks for all. Regs Tarmo

Hello, I've been searching recent VLC 0.9.5 for fc8. I use acer aspire one netbook, which is based on fc8.

If they used replacement libraries accurately and others package doesn't harcode the path of theses library (using rpath, which will be an error from the fedora package itself). It should work. >From what I've been reported, Linpus doesn't provides some package vlc use as dependencies. (for example libdvdread, pulseaudio, etc) Either you should be able to install them from the fedora repository, or you can install vlc-core and vlc with --nodeps Support for Linpus ends here. (we don't support this OS at RPMFusion IMO)... Nicolas (kwizart)
