Ricardo,

You _almost_ had it right. Two things more:

1. Be root:  $ su -      < be sure to type 'su <space> hyphen'
             Password: *********
then
2.           # rpm -i mplayer-1.0pre2-3.i386.rpm
                   ^^
                   you typed "i-"
                   recommend using "-ivh"

Hope this helps...
