You do not say which FC version you are using, but I presume FC5, or 6. For Freshrpms, and for FC5 the site address is: http://bordeaux.freshrpms.net For FC6 http://zod.freshrpms.net The Livna repo is at: http://rpm.livna.org/ You will have to install the gpg keys for these repos, but info is on the sites, and will have to setup the URL's to access the repos, in I think /etc/yum.conf , but there are shortcuts on the sites to save you manually typing in the URL's. All the best, and you might find installing Mplayer, and Mplayerplugin from Livna might fix a lot of your problems. Nigel. > > Is this just a case of the package being superseded?
