Fedora 21 PacketTracer (obsolete)

From time to time I still get comments or messages on this video. Sorry if I never reply, it's not that I don't like you, it's because I never see these messages :) I marked the title as obsolete a while back, but I still find people are in need of help with this. I'm saddened to say I had an impossible time getting packet tracer to work with the current...7.1 I believe. Cisco just makes it harder and harder to install. My only solution to get it to work has sadly been to install Wine and get the Windows version. From there it's as simple as running "wine /path/to/packet-tracer.exe". It's not the most ideal solution, but Packet Tracer for whatever reason uses ancient libopenssl packages, and it's probably safer to use the Windows version than to have a crusty libopenssl package installed on your computer. Good luck everyone! - 2018-01-16

How to install Packet Tracer 6.0.1 on Fedora. I've gotten this to work on 20 also and did the install in 21 and it works great!
Link to rpm needed to get PT to work:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/opensuse/update/12.2/x86_64/libopenssl1_0_0-32bit-1.0.1e-2.8.1.x86_64.rpm
