That was your first mistake. Always look for Mandrake rpms first. They're always the best fit for your system. Avoid, generic, other distro rpms, and (any) tarballs ... for anything. > Went to the Mandrake site the > only RPM's where on the club site,which I can not afford to join > at this moment in time. mplayer, tho not full featured (questionable legal issues) is on your CD's. The full featured Mandrake, an probly illegal, ones you can get from http://plf.zarb.org/ > I don't want to try using Tarball's quite > yet,because my base Linux skills are not that good yet. > Can any one help me to find a version of Mplayer > that will work with MDK 9.1,but does not take loads of knowledge > to install. Cheers, Use http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ to make a PLF source, disable your CD's as source (Software Sources Manager), and then use rpmdrake or 'urpmi' from the CL to get mplayer and it's supporting Mandrake rpms. You didn't say what you wanna play, but it won't hurt to get everything. Then you can play anything ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
