Video/DVD: mplayer vlc (the easiest thing you can do is get them from
blastwave[1])
Despite the fact that the blastwave repository is a
good thing at all, but what concerns me most is, that
(as the name implies ;-)) a blast of dependent packages
with deep inheritance are going to be installed
What I wanted to stress out a bit, was that
blastwave should take more effort in investigating
of which packages are already installed from
SUN in their default directories. This would avoid
tremendously redundant packages, and would also save
a lot of space on the HD.

Hi,
as I sincerely love SX[CD]E but b75 has several severe bugs. First the
installer crashes with the developer version while configuring and then
the version with the old installer does not install the developer tools.
After trying to install the developer tools manually even this did not
work
I sincerely excuse me for the word desaster. I almost
did make a incomplete installation. So I will do install
b75 once more with the old installer attempting to in-
stall it properly now.
If that does not work either, I will patiently wait for
b76.
