Background; My daughter is losing the battle with cancer, and one of the medications she was issued, maybe more than one, comes with an instructional dvd that is in .MRL format. I never heard of it but, I go looking for mplayer to install on this F7 lappy, finally finding a link to mplayerhq.hu that worked at about 2k/second on a dsl circuit, got the livna-release-7.2.rpm and installed it. It doesn't work with the smart package manager, and it causes yumex to lock so tight a powerdown reboot was required to get rid of yumex. So once again livna ate my lunch, even a relabel would not fix the read-only status of my smart database. This machine is uptodate as of last night. I finally removed the livna-release-7.1.rpm cuz it also crashed yumux. So how do I go about getting mplayer to install on an uptodate F7 lappy with a 64 bit turion running the i386 f7 install? We really would like to be able to read about these medications. -- Cheers. Gene "There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
