This command line will download the whole kit and kaboodle. that if you want to play content from a command line that you use the gmplayer version which will include a skin-able control panel. This will install the plug-in to play a wide variety of media within your browser window. Restart your web browser after that whole mess is done installing and you'll also have a plug-in for Mozilla so you can play embedded content. While you're at it be sure to configure mplayer to use the ALSA sound system rather than the default. It just works better. Edit the file ~/.mplayer/config and add the following line:
ao=alsa
I couldn't work out how to edit ~/.mplayer/config
but anyway, how can I access XP hard drive from FC5 so I can watch some AVI's
Depends on the file format of the XP partition, if it's fat32 (vfat to fedora) you just need to create a directory to mount it in, usually /mnt/XP or similar, then you can do as root,
mount /dev/(partition number) /mnt/XP
If you want it to auto mount at boot time edit /etc/fstab add a line in there something like this
/dev/sda3 /mnt/ourstuff vfat defaults,users,rw 0 0
substituting your partition for sda3
If it's NTFS there's an additional problem, rehat don't support that file system to you have to add a module to the kernel. Do a search on NTFS in Fedora, there's been lots about it, I don't have the precise info in my head.
Then do the same, but substitute ntfs for vfat in the fstab line.
So what's your problem with editing .mplayer/config?
Can you use vi?
Have you found the file?
Mine only has this in it,
"# Write your default config options here!"
All the config seems to be done in .mplayer/gui.conf

Yes I can use vi
So would it be vi .mplayer/config
I kind of found it, its sitting under the home DIR
G'Day Tommy
Didn't see you were from Rockingham, what a coincedence, I'm in Mandurah.
Yep, if you're still in your home directory, vi .mplayer/config should do it, but also have a look at .mplayer/gui.conf
I prefer vim to vi lets you do a few more things, and has pretty colours.
Congratulations, but I see the above pic was taken by a camera. If you right click over the top bar, select add to panel, then scroll down to just about the bottom, you'll see a camera image, called "take sreenshot". Can't find this in the applications menu anywhere, so I've added it to the top panel.

I dont even get that, that one I was trying was under the Gimp
Sorry Tommy, I got confused with another post, thought you were using FC4.
If you want to put the screen shot on the top panel, I think you can still do it.
Right click on the panel, select "add to panel" select "application launcher"
Then open the graphics folder and select the camera icon.
