[SLUG] Linux Software Installation
Hi All, Linux is totally new for me and I am having trouble installing Xine. I am using Fedora Linux Core 3 and have set up email and web browser so far so good. I have been trying to use the Terminal to change directories to the Xine software location and, I'm afraid, can't get anything other than a file does not exist message. Printer setup will be next I have a Lexmark X1150. Any help appreciated.

There is sometimes a slow down in slug mail because I have 45,000 emails in there and purging deletes can be very consuming. I used to purge on exit and this was totally unworkable. -- Ken Foskey OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Linux Software Installation
Can't help you on the xine front, but I'm not anticipating you're going to have much joy with the printer: Lexmark inkjets tend to have fairly poor Linux support, and my experience with MFCs is that you're licky to be able to get printer drivers, but scanner drivers are very unlikely.

I beleive you want to run yum install xine (as root). $ su - Password: root password # yum install xine -insert downloading/installing cruft here- # exit Xine will then be availible by typing xine in on the terminal. -Chris -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
