I've just installed Fedora 11 using the Live CD. Here's my quick guide for installing the applications that I think are the most useful. I know there are countless other guides out there, but this one is meant to be quick and simple for most users. So here it goes...
To be able to install the applications, open a Terminal, then login as root by entering the 'su' command, followed by the root password.
