Before I post this mail again, I actually had tried almost 2 hours, and I know that as I commented out the freshrpms repository, I could have the mplayer downloaded and make it sing and dance: Yesterday I have already found that freshrpms is the repository that I could yum install the mplayer from, and I failed with livna.Andrew Konosky wrote:
Okay, the reason it won't work is because it can't find the rpm for libpostproc,
Next, for the first server, Fedora Core 2 Base, enable the primary server. You have all the mirrors, but the main server is commented out.
Andrew has exactly the reason you are having an issue;
libpostproc is part of the base packages and you don't currently have it installed.
after you uncomment your base packages server group you should be able to find the rpm you require when doing the install of mplayer.
I highly recommend that you do what Andrew suggested about the test or unstable servers, either remove all entries to them or comment them out with # (hash) marks at the beginning of each line.

Even I comment out everything with in the main repository and fedora extras ( except gpg check=1) , I still got the same yum install failure.
However this moring few mails adviced me that the livna shuold work as long as you use fedora extras to go with it together, but I still can not yum install the mplayer as I used the sample yum.conf, and my intention is not to use many unecessary repositories, so I want to try, and I want to know what have I missed in that sample yum.conf I copied from Fedora.org, because in my current level I can't see what's wrong with it. My point is if other people certified that can yum install the mplayer and I failed, that means I need to understand the use of yum.conf further.
