Hello, I recently installed Fedora core1 on a Vaio desktop. A few issues I struggle with: mp3 mp3's doen't play. So I ran yum from the command line which took a long time dloading all packages. I also ran 'yum install xmms-mp3' since I installed the xmms mp3 player. After logout and login in KDE xmms loads the mp3 file but when I want to play it the player 'runs' through it in 2 secs (song takes longer!), mp3 is enabled in it's Options-preferences-Audio I/O Plugins menu. All the info (time, title) is displayed in the player. But no audio. b.t.w. I hear the system alert sounds OK so it seems to be no soundcard issue. Music PLayer: Internet radio does not work - there are no internet radio stations. Do I have to get that list myself? Install software: Installing software via terminal: sometimes the installer does its work (Wine, Acrobat) but afterwards I don't see the application anywhere or cannot get it to run (Acrobat). Windows diplsays shortcuts / items in the start menu. How does Fedora display options to start newly installed software? I guess these are pretty newbie q's but would be grateful if anyone here could point me in the right direction. TIA, Marc __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
