I suggested this before but never saw your response.
All the best.

Hi there,
For the FOURTH time I have tried to grab Mplayer (0.90rc4) from plf.zarb.org. For the FOURTH time it has FAILED. I am getting very pissed off in trying this since MPlayer is the ONE player most highly recommended by guys overseas.
The dependancies it required added up to 70+ MB (of which only 30MB came from my MDK 9.0 install disks). The other 40MB had to be downloaded. This seemed to be running fine until the package 'kdenetwork-3.05etc...' started rolling in. It got one third through this file, then reported a message along the lines "partial file". I was given the option of continuing without it, or cancelling. I continued on (only one small file remained), but once that file loaded I got a message about missing dependancies, and the install failed (no options given).
Are the rpms stored anywhere on my disk once they are downloaded? I do NOT wish to load the whole phreaking lot over a 56k modem again. Also, has anyone got a copy of mplayer working on their system, with ALL the extra codecs (win32, avi, xvid, qt, etc...)??
Also, what the [EMAIL PROTECTED] does kdenetwork package have to do with a stupid movie player?! It never got included in the listed dependancies prior to today?! I also tried getting a list of dependancies AFTER the stuff-up occured, and kdenetwork was NOT included among them...????!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I had hoped to record and edit movies on this system one day, for my family, and perhaps author them to DVD or to VideoCD (lots of family movies, sports featuring myself and other family). If I cannot even PLAY god-damn MPEG-1 movies what chance do I have of editing videos to put on DVD or similar?!
Very pissed-off regards,
