Installing mplayer on Fedora Core 2

------------------------------------------

This proved the easiest method for me:

[1] Go to http://greysector.rangers.eu.org/mpl...-optional.html and download the following three RPMs:
- mplayer-gui
- mplayer-codecs-essential
- mplayer-skin-default

[2] Place them in their own directory (eg. "mplayer")

[3] cd to that directory and enter this command:
# rpm -Uvh *.rpm

[4] This will install all three packages (mplayer with all the essential codecs and the default skin)

ENJOY!

YUM - good idea

why i used yum for some cd burning software and then used rpm for mplayer instead of yum i don't knowjavascript:emoticon('')

I guess we could say that if yum doesn't work and you don't want to fiind out why it failed, you could use my method javascript:emoticon('')
