I don't see why it installing freevo should be difficult, it is just a collection of python packages, which are dead easy to install manually. Having said that, I have had some fun installing freevo in as a virtual machine vmware server. I installed Gentoo as a client and took the latest iso image as the CD-ROM installer. Discovered that python is installed as 2.4 and some of the dependencies are installed in 2.4/site-packages before the installer reinstalled python 2.5 and not updating these packages. Running the python-updater fixed this problem. It took a bit of time to work out what was going on. Also Numeric was not in the dependency list so freevo wouldn't start. Need to add this check to python setup.py install.
