Re: Linux dummy with Mplayer problem

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.

It's even simpler with 10.3. Because you don't need to specify the url
of Packman, just enable it in the community repositories in YaST.

Then type mplayer in the search field and say OK to everything.
And do have your repositories refreshed when you do all this.

It just works :)
