For instance there are enough repositories with mplayer RPMs. Have a look at www.fedoratracker.org or www.fedorafaq.org for more general advices. I was speaking about a menu entry for an application like mplayer. Kumara (the OP) was asking for one as he misses mplayer in his applications menu. $ cat /usr/share/applications/freshrpms-mplayer.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Movie Player Comment=Play multimedia files and media Icon=mplayer.xpm Exec=gmplayer %f Terminal=false MimeType=video/mpeg;video/x-msvideo;video/quicktime Type=Application Categories=Application;AudioVideo; Encoding=UTF-8 X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.4 Because my mplayer comes from the freshrpms.net repository packaged as an RPM and thus easy to install or later to upgrade or even to uninstall (erase), I have a menu entry from the file above. I hope this makes it a bit more clearer what I was speaking about in my previous reply.
