Hi, The subject might sound senseless, but I was at a loss of words for the subject! :-)
1. I am trying to set up a Linux box (FC3) which will be used just to play a demo AVI that I have made. I need to configure it so that when it starts up, it automatically starts playing the AVI - without logging in, or running anything. 2. If that isnt possible, then I can manage to ssh into the machine, and then do the following: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xhost + gmplayer demo.avi & Now the problem is this: I dont know how to do 1. and cant get 2. to work! I tried configuring VNC server, but it wont listen on display:0. Step 2 works fine on display:1 (where VNS server is installed). Is there a way out? Secondly, I want to install xine on my system, and want yum to get the necessary dependencies etc etc and install them. I have tried multiple things, but yum wont find xine. I have downloaded the xine rpm and ran: yum install xine-0.99.3-4.1.fc3.i386.rpm This gave me: ++++++++++START++++++++++++++++++++++ Setting up Install Process Setting up Repo: extras repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Setting up Repo: base http://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/fedora/3/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Repo: updates-released repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files extras : ################################################## 1952/1952 base : ################################################## 2622/2622 updates-re: ################################################## 958/958 Examining xine-0.99.3-4.1.fc3.i386.rpm: xine - 0.99.3-4.1.fc3.i386 Marking xine-0.99.3-4.1.fc3.i386.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Any help will be very useful!!
