Hi Amos, Isn't rpmforge supposed to be a one stop shop for all the large RPM repositories? Supposed - yes, but different groups see themselves as special so they don't join (I won't name names).

I do think it's a good idea to buy a new machine which has Intel VT-x or AMD SVM and run the old machine's image under Xen (possible) or KVM (recommended). You get the best of both worlds. I had a similar problem (FC4 did not recognized new disks). I installed Centos 5.1 (2.6.18-53.el5xen) and built on it a guest OS (FC4, 2.6.11) with full virtualization. I had a few problems on the way - 1. Setting a fixed IP (not NAT) on the same network as the host. This required changing the network definition on the host so all machines (real and virtual) used a common bridge. 2. The application (not the OS) did not perform well - I changed the guest OS from 64 bit to 32 bit - and it solved it. Added benefit for using guest OS is that backup (which I don't need - no data is saved on the machine) and duplicating it (which I did) is a snap.

Ira, The trick you're mentioning is by using the -dump feature in mplayer, which saves the stream. As much as I recall, the only way to play it back is only using mplayer.

Hi Geoff, It does play on firefox on Windows, if you have the Windows media plugin for firefox installed (http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx), but the buttons on many web pages are javascript crap which is not understood by Firefox.
