Create the file named /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo and fill it with this content (i'm doing a copy/paste, please fix lines that are broken): [freshrpms] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Freshrpms mirrorlist=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/mirrors- freshrpms enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 Then import the Freshrpms GPG key: wget -v -t 0 -nd -c \ http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/rpms/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-freshrpms rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-freshrpms Then install xine: yum --enablerepo=freshrpms install xine Done! :-) yum should pull in all dependencies, xine should be able to play DVDs right away. There are some other nice multimedia apps on Freshrpms, browse the repository (URL below) then do a "yum --enablerepo=freshrpms install package-name" http://freshrpms.net/packages/ -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
