There are already debian packages for mplayer at http://marillat.free.fr. Fortunately, it's apt-gettable. Just add the line deb http://marillat.free.fr/ stable main in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Replace stable with testing or unstable if you're using Woody or Sid. AFAIK, this site also has debian packages for other multimedia software like xtheater et. al. There's also the codecs that you'd need, packaged as debian packages. -->paolo Paolo Alexis Falcone __________________________________ www.edsamail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
