Well, as long as your hardware is supported (sound, video), it is no
different than installing on a desktop. For example, yesterday I installed
Fedora 2.6.9 on a laptop and then simply used yum to install mplayer and

I went with the USB based Streamzap remote. It was
$30 something dollars (US) but for that you get a USB receiver and a fairly cool
remote. The downside to this solution is that you have to patch and compile your
own lirc, not a big deal, but something to consider.

I had windowed movies too until I changed the freevo config option USE_WID =
