Sorry in my Yahoo email the subject lines are truncated due to all the advertising and I don't always see it all. Thanks I will try to pay closer attention. However it would not hurt to post important info in the body of the message where it is more likely to be seen. Not a good excuse, but rather an explanation of how it can happen. Your point is well taken.

Errm, look at the subject. :) (Believe me Roy, you're not the first one to do that--I remember posting a long detailed explanation of how to do something FreeBSD and only after I submitted the post did I realize it was in the OpenBSD section of daemonforums. Ooops. ) For Fedora, you need livna--I'm not sure what's going on with F9 and Livna right now though--it's merging with rpmfusion, but that might just be for F10 at the moment. Then you should be able to do yum -y install mplayer and it will pull in all the codecs you need. Go to the livna site, it has the info you need, you just have to dig around the site a bit. You should also google for the unofficial fedora FAQ which might have a step by step guide to it, though I'm not positive about that. Fedora does NOT supply any proprietary codecs, or indeed, anything like that, such as flash and the like. How much of this is philosophical and how much is due to being based in the US, I don't know. However, all of it is easy to install with the livna repositories. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: Well, yeah. I'd give anything to be able to turn invisible.
