Best way to get RPM's using Drake?


Hey, i've been trying to install MPlayer, and its crazy with all these dependencies! It has so many, and i can't even find half of them. I look at www.freshmeat.net and www.rpmfind.net .

Is there an easier and better way to do this? Its driving me nuts

Thanks a lot,
Matt

LinuZ, you should be able to find MPlayer on cd 3, I also recommend you check out http://plf.zarb.org The urpmi setup section is excellent and helps no end with dependency problems.

cheers
