Real "Big problems in Little Hi; 'emerge gentoolkit' 'equerry u mplayer | more' That will show all the USE variables possible, and explain briefly what they do. Edit your /etc/make.conf USE line, or pass what you want to change when you emerge mplayer. e.g. 'USE="win32codecs" emerge mplayer' Paul set@xxxxxxxxx
