Ah, that's better. rpm -U xmms*.rpm. Hello raidioparadise.com, > Fedora can stick around for another week or so. >From the spiffy artoo site (http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/#up2date): Q: How do I make XMMS play MP3s? A: Before I talk about this, you should know: In the United States and other countries, you legally must pay patent royalties to use MP3 players or encoders. With that said, the plugins for these things are usually in the rpm.livna.org repository. Set up your yum.conf to be able to access rpm.livna.org. (See the question about getting Fedora software) Open a Terminal. Become root. (su -) Type yum install xmms-mp3. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
