The title of your thread is a very poor. It should be something like, "Help Installing Java and Mplayer".

It'd also help to have the distro you use in your profile.

Can you let us now what linux distribution you are using (like suggested above). I have edited the title of you thread to increase the exposure of your thread.

First you need to add the repositories of the Penguin Liberation Front:

urpmi.addmedia --update plf-free http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.f...ee/2006.0/i586 with hdlist.cz

urpmi.addmedia --update plf-nonfree http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.f...ee/2006.0/i586 with hdlist.cz

Then follow the instructions for Mandriva 2007 Spring, keep in mind your are working with 2006:
