It is called urpmi, and I post almost daily telling people how to use it. In your case all you need to do is visit http://plf.zarb.org/ Follow the instructions on the front page to 'urpmize your system' and then type urpmi transcode And as if by magic all RPMs necessarywill be installed automatically. Warning: Most of the plf servers are quite slow, so be prepared for a long download. derek > On Monday 23 December 2002 05:53 pm, Stephen Kuhn wrote: > > On Tue, 2002-12-24 at 06:03, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I've used Mandrake as my primary operating system for the last few > > > years.

Re: [newbie] DVD Ripping transcode?
Did any of you guys have trouble installing transcode? It seems that this is a requirement for dvd::rip and many others but I'm finding that transcode has a lot of requirements that aren't on my system. I'm looking at installing like 20 diffenent things here or maybe more. Is there an easier way? There ought to be a way to tell the installer to go get whatever it thinks it needs and then install everything.
