Janina, thanks for these tips and your help getting everything running. I have used yum a few times and it really does make installs a breeze. I don't know if the repos's you mentioned are included in my yum setup, but I'll add them if they are not. I can't remember where I got my yum config file, I found one out there in the www and just started using it.

Subject: Re: System-config-soundcard Suggest you get mplayer working for real audio, and for many other formats. Best way, imho, is to get yum working with some additional repositories. In particular, add the following "repos" (repositories): [dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 [freshrpms] name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - freshrpms baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpm s enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 With these two added, (separate files under /etc/yum.repos if your yum is new enough--I'm sorry I don't recall your Fedora version), you can then do things like: yum install mplayer I promise, it's by far the easiest way to deal with installs--especially for applications like mplayer that literally have a dozen dependencies. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
