This thing wgets and installs stuff from many different sites. Many of
the installations aren't controlled by your package manager. It adds
several different Yum repositories.

Why does it untar it's own kdesu when it's available from the kdebase
package? Why does it install an old version (7.0.5) of Adobe Reader with
security problems?

If you're intent on using this, untar it, and read through the
frog.script to see what it's _really_ doing.
