I have a fresh install of 5.4 x86_64 from a dvd .iso. All has worked well for several days, including kvm and WinXP running in a vm.
Decided it was time to get the multimedia stuff up and running so I could listen to music CDs and watch DVD movies while working. I followed the guidance on the "Tips and Tricks" page for multimedia. Had no problem with the "priorities" or the rpmforge installs. Here is where it went south:
[root@desk Desktop]# yum install libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay libdvdnav lsdvd mplayerplug-in mplayer mplayer-gui compat-libstdc++-33 flash-plugin gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg libquicktime Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: yum.singlehop.com * base: mirror.fdcservers.net * extras: mirrors.liquidweb.com * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * updates: centos.mirror.nac.net 440 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Install Process

First question: Is the guidance for multimedia accurate for an 5.4 x86_64 load?
Second question: is rpmforge fully ready for 5.4?
