From PLF site, I used Easy urpmi to Identify and load the sources you mentioned above. First I tried mplayer. It installed OK, but it would not play the video. Then I found out that the file type I was downloading is .ram which has a mime type of realaudio. So, I installed RealPlayer and all works well. Urpmi is a pretty slick tool, especially since it knows what dependencies are needed. What, if anything, will I need to do with urpmi after going to 9.2. How do you know what aps need updating? mike
