eh, vlc + mandriva?
 

so i 'think" i installed Easy urpmi. as vlc said "you can easly install vlc with this".
i googled this and there were codes for terminal and nothing that i thought, hey this wouldn't hurt to try.
oh how i long for the exe file to just dl and double click.

i'm sure that post is simple as pie to the linux users. i'm glad for them.
