BUT given the fact that BackTrack is a Live CD (see [1]), and bravo 007 is asking on how to make mplayer work on it... All I can say is : good luck! Please, bravo 007, feel free to humour me, but if you do so - tell us how you made mplayer run on BackTrack 3. Anyway, what do you need mplayer for on a "linux live distribution focused on penetration testing"? Why not use a not-so-special-case distribution instead?
