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).
