my suggestion would be to download mplayer from source. don't forget to download all the codecs as well (windows codecs, quicktime codecs, realplayer codecs, etc).

Hi All,

I am new to this list and do not know if this is the correct list to send my query. Please redirect me to the correct one if I am in the wrong list. I want to access the various firmware versions of devices like MP, BMC of the machine running Linux (64 Bit) etc. I have understood that this can be done using IPMI. I want to know if IPMI is implemented on Linux 64. If so how do I use it (IPMI) to get the information I need.

Any help / hints/ links/ pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Kamesh.

Hi Harp00,
I installed mplayer with apt-get .... it's great ... it does everything for you...
Here's the link to where I got apt-get : http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO

Then after you have apt installed all you do is:

apt-get update (Download package lists. Packages change several times daily, so do this often.)

apt-get install mplayer (Install specific package (and its dependencies, if missing any).

Hope this helps
