From which site can i download all these files for FC6

Some are in the Fedora Core 6 extras repo, some are available from the freshrpms. All can be downloaded/installed via apt, smart or yum. You can even download/install them by hand.

Download and install: http://zod.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=118
To install: rpm -Uvh freshrpms*.rpm

To install via yum for example: su -c 'yum install mplayer.i386'

You can find the mplayer-codec rpms here: http://rpm.pbone.net/

Unlike Windows why there are so much intricacies involved in insatlling a file?

Why would you download and install all these packages separately? Can't you just set up livna repo? This would allow you to install everything at once, without dependency issues...

i've used these sites in setting up my computer. both are good in step by step instructions.

In Windows, you would need to install 300MB to 400MB of useless crap along with the media player off the installation disc. In allot of cases you end up installing Acrobat reader 4, 5, 6, 7, over time because when you install in Windows from a CD, chances are you'll install everything on the disc even if it means you'll have four versions of the same software because another application installed a different version of Acrobat reader (example).

In Linux, you install a small package called "mplayer", but if you do not have Acrobat reader (example) installed, then that becomes a dependency, if you have Amarok installed, then allot of these little dependency packages will not need to be installed a second, third, fourth time like "Acrobat reader" (example) in Windows.
If you add up the total size of all those packages, they won't add up to what you need to download to install MusicMatch in Windows, and MusicMatch will probably install a small dependency that is already installed in Windows by Winamp or something.
Basically, in Linux, you usually don't have multiple versions of the same package installed, because they don't all come on a 700MB CD, they are separated in little individual packages that are dependencies just like the 300MB of crap you install off a CD in Windows many more times than is required.
Why do so many people complain about the turtle speed their Windows box eventually runs at?. :twocents:

This site doesnt contain codecs for fc6. Please help!

My question is Where can I find all the files needed to wortk Mplayer in FC6 in a i386 meachine?

I have not searched extremely hard, but I did at one time look for the same thing to no avail. But you can get codecs at Mplayer's web site. I think you can only get them as source, not in an rpm. Other than Lenard's suggestions from http://rpm.pbone.net/. Check it out.
