I think it was from the 4th cd, I've forgotten. www.linuxshop.co.nz is selling the 4 cd set.

ok, i think mplayer is better anyways, i couldn't tell because my frikkin laptop has gone to Toshiba for various issues LOL it would be funny if they come back telling me "we cannot repeair your laptop and warranty is void because Toshiba strongly reccomends Microsoft Windows XP!"

but yea, when i get it back i'll possibly install mplayer from my club iso's!

Install the mplayer from PLF. plf.zarb.org. It plays more (proprietary) formats.
