area packages that make using Linux soooo much more pleasurable.
Like....win32 codecs to play videos....DVD software etc. etc...
(checksumming error or somewhat!) during the grabbing of the
win32codec file (part of mplayer). Rpmdrake wasn't able to
install the sucker, and you shoulda heard the colored lingo
I emitted!! That was after 20MB of other dependancies across
a 56k modem. Thats the THIRD FREAKING TIME GRABBING MPLAYER
HAS FAILED ON MY SYSTEM! STILL I CANNOT EVEN PLAY BLASTED MPEG
FILES LET ALONE QUICKTIME OR AVI'S!! Grrr Snarl!!!!
Ok then try this. Go to this site ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/9.0/i586/ and download the packages using your web browser stick them in a directory and then as root type urpmi *
in the directory.
That should install them you might want to type urpmi mplayer before downloading the packages so you can see the full list of dependences. REMEBER Mplayer is Beta software. You could on the other hand wait till Mandrake 9.1 comes out thats supposed to include a version.
