Explain that please.
He probably means that his friends would ask a number of questions that would make him baby sit them through the steps.

As far as I remember, a 4-5 line bash script takes care of the average non-Fedora needs.
1) yum -y update 2) Get livna repo files 3) get atrpms repo files 4) yum install (ati|nvidia|flash|mplayer|mplayer-codecs|other-non-free-sound-libs) 5) Download java runtime from sun 6) Install java rpm
Okay six lines. That about takes care of things.
Not saying that his friends would write the script, just that he would write it and tell them to run this one thing to install everything else that they may need.
Peace
