Fedora Frog 1.0-11.0.0 released
Description: This Bash program provides the Linux administrator an easy way to install applications not installed by default during a Fedora Core installation procedure, and applications that are not part of the standard distribution.
It also tweaks some configuration items. Additional repositories are required beyond the normal Core, Updates, and Extras, and they can be added using Fedora Frog as well.
Frog installs media players such as RealPlayer, Mplayer, VLC, Kaffiene and Xine. It also installs Thunderbird, Firefox, GNUCash, Adobe Reader and Yumex, and some things specifically for System Admins such as chkrootkit.
Fedora Frog is currently supported on Fedora 10 and 11. Support for all previous versions of Fedora has been removed.

Fedora Frog Update
I am currently working on an update that will add support for Fedora 10 and 11. It will remove all support for previous versions of Fedora. I am revising the list of packages that it installs because some of the older packages are no longer needed or in some cases have not been updated in a long time so are no longer relevant. In other cases I am adding packages thatare now available through the new RPMFusion repositories. I hope to finish this major update within two weeks.

Frog offers options to install additional fonts including the new Red Hat Liberation Fonts which are metric replacements for MS TrueType Core Fonts. It also offers the MS TrueType Core Fonts and other TrueType fonts.
Fedora Frog now uses a text mode user menu interface. This enables administrators to use Fedora Frog remotely via SSH or other remote text mode connections.
Fedora Frog now requests user input when deleting application RPMs. This feature was added due to many complex dependencies which would sometimes remove much more than the admin had anticipated.
