I would like to listen to songs when working. > The reason why mp3 support (and other technology) is not included is documented here: http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_80mm.html But you can install the add-on package xmms-mp3 from http://rpm.livna.org be sure to follow the documentation on its website. You can also browse the package directories manually and install rpms manually if you are familiar with solving dependencies yourself: http://rpm.livna.org/redhat/9/i386/RPMS.stable/ http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/RPMS.stable/ A convenient way to install extra packages is to use the Yum tool, e.g. as explained here, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/FedoraHOWTO by installing http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/RPMS.stable/yum-2.0.3-0.fdr.1.rh90.noarch.rpm and following the Red Hat Linux specific section of http://rpm.livna.org/configuration.html Then, a simple "yum install xmms-mp3" would do the rest for you. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
