If wildcards were used, Pirut is the culprit. Since I wanted to make sure I'd have all components needed to have a nice working MPlayer system, I just installed pretty much everything that was suggested. Had I looked more closely, I would have deselected anything with the name xmms in it because I knew how much trouble xmms has meant to me in the past. But a pure newbie wouldn't know. So, IMO, Pirut shouldn't suggest to install xmms when installing Mplayer. Removing Rhythmbox when I only wanted to remove Brasero wasn't very clever either. I don't remember if I removed Braseo with yum at the command line or in Pirut. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
