Trying to understand this. I install suse 10.3 clean. Try to install Mplayer for suse from Packman. It says it has 45 dependencies. Do I really need to hunt down and install 45 RPM's before I can install Mplayer? It was simple with Suse 10.2.

In YaST2 this took me about 4 or 5 clicks. Use the tools the system gives
you.

If you wanted to do everything by hand you'd be using Slackware, right?
How did you do this with 5 clicks? I did use yast. Nothing seems to work in 10.3. Kaffine wants xvid. You install xvid, it still won't work. Seamonkey shows that java is installed and active. Java won't run on any site. I'm no linux pro. But everything I did to get these things working in 10.2 is a failure in 10.3.
