If I had more time...I would like to create an installer similar to the Zimbra installer for RHEL/CentOS. One executable that asks you a couple questions and does everything. The first thing that I normally tell people to do is download the rpmforge repository setup file and install it like: wget http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge ... x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm

One of the most common questions that I get with zoneminder setups is where do I find all of the dependent rpms? If you install the rpmforge repository file above you can then search the repository for packages by doing yum list ffmpeg* and then yum install ffmpeg-version.rpm. I like using the rpmforge packages because upgrading is a snap...just type yum -y update.

I may contact cordel and see if we can work together in creating a single file/install script that uses the rpmforge repository, etc. Maybe he has already done this??
