Hi Kostas, First, it's not a good idea to use "--force" with rpm. If you know exactly what the conflict is and resolving it will be your next step, then using it is reasonable. Otherwise, the option ought to be avoided. Regarding MPlayer: You can now install MPLayer as well as other Packman and Suser-Guru packages with YaST's 'Install and Remove Software' module, which means you no longer have to download the rpm packages separately and install them from the command line. First, add the following installation sources in YaST > Software > Installation Source: protocol: http server: packman.rsync.zmi.at directory: suse/10.0 protocol: http server: ftp4.gwdg.de directory: pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.0/ Make sure "refresh" is "on" for these sources in the Installation Source module. Next, open YaST's "Software Management" module, select "Package Groups" in the 'Filter' box (top-left.) In the left pane, scroll all the way down to the bottom and select "zzz All". When the alphabetical list of packages has refreshed in the right pane, scroll down to MPlayer and select it for installation. You might also want to install mplayerplug-in while you're at it. This adds MPlayer's capabilities to Mozilla/Firefox by installing the appropriate plug-ins.) Click 'Accept'... YaST should automatically resolve the dependencies and ask you to confirm them with an 'OK'. If... and please advise me on this behavior... if YaST does *not* automatically resolve the dependencies, scroll up and down the packages list in the right pane and select to install them yourself... that's why I've had you open the packages list instead of just using the "Search" field. Good luck & regards, Carl regards, Carl
