Does it self-install as a plugin or do I have to configure? for FC6 goodies, i've found this site is helpful: http://gagme.com/greg/linux/fc6-tips.php as for the totem that's shipped with FC, maybe it's just me but i've found it to be as useful as a condom machine at the vatican. i just got used to removing it immediately and replacing it with totem-xine from the livna repo if that's what you really want. i've found that mplayer seems to do everything i need. rday
