+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Fedora provides legacy system libraries for compatibility
+ with older software. This software is part of the
+ <code>Legacy Software Development</code> group, which is not
+ installed by default. Users who require this functionality
+ may select this group either during installation or after
+ the installation process is complete. To install the package
+ group on a Fedora system, use <command>Applications >
+ Add/Remove Software</command> or enter the following command
+ in a terminal window:
+ <screen>
+ su -c 'yum groupinstall "Legacy Software Development"'
+ </screen>
+ Enter the password for the <code>root</code> account when prompted.
