Hi Marc,<br><br>There are some apps everyone likes that don't ship with redhat based stuff for license reasons. Anything using dvdcss is a legal timebomb for redhat so other places handle it.<br><br>If you add <a href="http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm">http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm</a> package to your system, you will get things like working mp3 , xine, mplayer and then also get <a href="http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/9/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm">http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/9/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm</a> for ogle and tons of other stuff. <br>
<br>You may need to do things like exclude packages from one that you want to get from the other as there is some clash/overlap. <br><br>Notes on both: I have had excellent results with kernel stuff from livna (mainly the madwifi modules that now ship with F9!) and the multimedia stuff I generally get from freshrpms. By default, I leave both repos disabled and only enable them when I need specific stuff. If you're not a cli junkie, yumex is your friend. From a root shell yum install yumex and your off to the races.<br>
<br>NOTE #2: The default package manager gui crap in F9 is braindead. You can't select multiple packages and do a bulk install. It's one at a time. AARRGGHH! It will handle all dependencies but you must wait for each package you select to install before you can select another. Braindead. Just fraking braindead.<br>

Cool, thanks for the info. I've heard about the "which" command, but<br>
kept forgetting what it was called. I'll try that when I get a chance.<br>
<br>
As for freshrpms. Should I stick to that site? I'm kind og confused<br>
with Fedora. I know it's a test realm for RH stuff, so I assume that<br>
rpms labeled RH should work with Fedora?<br>
