Options for installing software not listed on RH channel?

Moonman · 11-16-2007, 06:09 PM

I am new to up2date and the RHN. I am trying to install any Video Player to on RedHat EL 4.5. I don't see mplayer, Xine, or VLC in the package list through the RH channel. Anyone know what I need to do to get a more complete listing for installing and automatically resolving dependencies?

Thanks,

Mike

use yum or apt and add 3rd party repositories.

RH is dumping up2date over yum so get used to it now.

Thanks that worked. Only had to resolve 4 or 5 dependencies for yum manually. MUCH BETTER! Hope they dump up2date soon.
