No I can't. That is, in fact, my point. Most of the
freshrpms.net stuff
requires ALSA, which requires kernel modules, which means I can no
longer "up2date" that system without breaking the sound, etc., etc.
Already mentioned. no kernel changes are required.
It has been very, very nice install Fedora yum/apt and be able to
tell
my customers, my sister, my wife, "Just do ..." and presto, changeo, you
can play your MP3's or watch your DVD's. They really don't do so well
when I pass on to them the typical answer from these lists of "just
install all this stuff from freshrpms, reconfigure your modules.conf,
maybe rebuild your kernel, and it 'just works', Yeah, right"
Add freshrpms to yum.conf
yum install xmms-mp3
presto, play mp3 files.
yum install ogle (xine)
prest, play DVDs (if you want add libdvdcss too)
