User Feedback :: new extensions in 0.7
Thanks Roberts,I put the mplayer.dsl in root directory of the CD,
booted dsl mydsl=cdrom,but the message about not being able to write
/etc/skel would come up and not even the binary was there after booting finished.
Have to say that in my haste I didn't md5sum the downloaded mplayer.dsl
and I'll try this again,unless you see a flaw in the first paragraph.
When I untarred that mplayer.dsl,(under redhat}, there was an etc and usr
directory.The user directory only had a bin directory, there were no libs
or share items.
That may be an issue also,the fact that I've been downloading things
on another system and drive (in another world?), but firefox and abiword
on the CD come up O.K.
Like I say, I'll try this again,and thanks for your help!

I had some real issues downloading .dsl files
in XP , using Mozilla Firefox... Seemingly, it
would d/l way larger files than intended, by either
clicking on the link, or using rt click/save as.
I did side-by-side comparisons of d/l's with
both Firefox in Linux/ Firefox in XP, and
Internet Explorer. Only "rt click/save as" in
IE was successful every time..
I believe Firefox has some issues downloading
from SOME sites, not every site...
That goes for XP Firefox and Linux Firefox...
I use Firefox in Linux frequently, and most times
it works just fine...Same in XP...Same in FC1.
You just never know....
Try using another d/l program, or pick another
site, and MD5SUM those d/l's !

Aaah-ha!Repository file size has increased.
Mplayer package now functions.
Have to throw away shell script for live install
of Luit Mplayer.
You even chose I-tunes skin like I did.
Well done!!!
Happy adraker
Tail-wagging emoticon would go here.
You probably had a copy of my first version. sri...
All the .dsl's from ke4nt1 have been revised recently,
and should be well behaved. They have been tested
on several systems and with other dsl users.
They perform well here in any type of install..
( I'm learning this stuff as I go....;-)
If you notice otherwise please send info via ke4nt1

As of 5/30/2004....
Make sure you redownload the latest mplayer, if you
first tried it out before the above date....
The /etc problems are resolved..
