It would appear that whoever maintains the "livna" repo for yum has taken care of all of that:
Cool.
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html (theres a section on importing their repo, and then basically you yum -y install mplayer)
Thanks for the info. I took a quick look at the site. I'll have to do some configuration stuff first. It looks like this might do the trick.
Slightly busy with the latest beta of pan at the moment. With Shaw, it seems the key is to shut things down when they stall and then restart. Apparently they also "upgraded" the news servers while I was down.

Some good things and some not so good things. Over all I'm not impressed, but there aren't enough problems (yet) to justify my going back to Fedora 2.
Anyhow... I just recompiled MPlayer and at first it didn't like the compiler. I told it not to check the compiler and there was an error near the end of the "make" step. I did a quick check of the MPlayer site and it seems they've moved over to a new machine (without saying where it is). I still have a copy of Pre-7 from before. Has anybody been able to install/compile it for Fedora 5? If so, how? Is there anything newer than Pre-7? Have the codecs been updated? Is there indeed a new site or was I hallucinating as a result of being up until 4:00am the previous night? Do I have to go and get the binary rpm?
I'll ask again at the meeting on Tuesday. Alternatively, if I get it working I'll tell everybody how (if someone reminds me).
