problems with gmplayer

[duncan brown]

either you've never heard the war stories about compiling mplayer, or your
intestinal fortitude is far greater than most mortals =]

your best bet is to go over to www.freshrpms.net and install their mplayer
rpm.

steps you should take:

download and install his apt package

on the command line, type

apt-get update
apt-get install mplayer

and once that's done, you've got mplayer happiness.

also, to search through the packages now available to you, use apt-cache

apt-cache search [keyword]

so, i want to see what games i can install

apt-cache search games

also, you may want to install the gui apt client, synaptic

apt-get install synaptic

there will be a menu option added under system tools after it has completed.

oh, and you can do an

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

and that'll upgrade everything on your system.
