Read the following - it will make you happier. This is taken from my change log. * SOFTWARE LOADER * NOTE: apt-get is available in the software store From: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Linux/Q_21026419.html To make your life a lot easier, use apt-get for RedHat and Synaptic to install applications. You can spend the time saved actually working :) Assuming you are using Fedora Core 1 - o Get apt-get for redhat, http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/freshrpms/fedora/2/apt/apt-0.5.15cnc6-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.html o In a Console, type "rpm -ivh apt-0.5.15cnc6-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm" (without the quotes, of course) o type "apt-get update" to get the latest package information o Now type in "apt-get install synaptic" Once it is done downloading and has installed Synaptic, you can choose that application from the menu and install any of the thousands of applications with a few clicks. MPlayer and Xine install in a few seconds. - executed: /usr/bin/synaptic - installed: xmmx and lots of xmmx plugins xine xcdroast vnc vcdimager unrar sharutils mplayer mplayer-fonts mplayer-skins mpg123 kdegames alsaplayer rar George Toft, CISSP, MSIS AGD,LLC www.agdllc.com 623-203-1760 mike hoy wrote: > fedora core was able to make my sound card work.
