rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/< RELEASE > /i386/rpmfusion-free-release-< RELEASE > -1.noarch.rpm # Read the comment on line above
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/< RELEASE > /i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-< RELEASE > -1.noarch.rpm # The line two lines above tells you what to do...
