Michael (and the rpm.livna.org maintainer), please see my brand-new HOWTO on this topic: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Fedora-Multimedia-Installation-HOWTO/index.html I found I had to add freshrpms in order to get apt. I needed apt in order to get jre RPMs from Dag Wieers's repository. = I would actually like to recommend livna only in my HOWTO, but there are things it lacks.
