First, Thank YOU! Craig for all your help. I have it installed now and I do want everyone to know you went above and beyond. Second for the other NEWBIES out there, here is the sequence: # rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm This takes a while, and will download all sorts of stuff to the system. As long as it keeps going, when it asks you a question, answer "y". at the end of it all it will tell you what it installed. The important bit is: Install 22 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 8.1 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: (1/22): libdvdnav-0.1.10- 100% |=========================| 89 kB 00:00 (2/22): x264-0-0.8.200610 100% |=========================| 241 kB 00:02 (3/22): xvidcore-1.1.2-1. 100% |=========================| 243 kB 00:04 (4/22): enca-1.9-3.fc6.i3 100% |=========================| 118 kB 00:00 (5/22): aalib-1.4.0-0.11. 100% |=========================| 74 kB 00:00 (6/22): a52dec-0.7.4-10.l 100% |=========================| 49 kB 00:01 (7/22): fribidi-0.10.7-5. 100% |=========================| 53 kB 00:00 (8/22): lirc-0.8.1-0.2.pr 100% |=========================| 238 kB 00:01 (9/22): lame-libs-3.97-3. 100% |=========================| 128 kB 00:31 http://livna.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/6/i386/lame-libs-3.97-3.lvn6.i386.rpm: [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out Trying other mirror.

At this point the base core for Livna is installed. Now you want the Mplayer stuff. This is a much shorter install. The command is: # yum --enablerepo=livna install mplayerplug-in Again answer "y" to all questions and at the end you should see: Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing: mplayerplug-in ######################### [1/1] Installed: mplayerplug-in.i386 0:3.31-2.lvn6 Complete! This should do it. Thanks again to Craig and his patience with me, and I hope this helps someone else. Regards, Les H
