I have installed mplayer with Craig's help, and have just discovered some things don't seem to play. For instance I am still being prompted to install flash. I really want to get the multimedia content on webpages to run, audio and video. So could one of you old hands list the "basic" setup to get say flash stuff, avi, mov, and one or two of the more popular formats running. We will all be very grateful. Or tell us where to look to figure out which packages to load and run, or better still, some place with a table of formats to utilities would be nice. Regards, Les H
