I am sure you are aware of the fact that using these repo's on a CentOS Machine will cause you more damage than most people really want. Expect to reinstall the OS if you have those repo's enabled and run through a few pkg install cycles. And dont expect CentOS to provide you with any useful updates anymore. How about a list of pkgs and dep's required to get i386 Multimedia working well on a x86_64 CentOS Machine ? - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ GnuPG Public Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
