Hi
Yes Synaptic manager is not installed with the packages. You can use
Yum
Visit this
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware
After that just do (logging in as root)
yum install xmms
For playing mp3s visit the same link
and under
Problems and Their Solutions
see the 7th question.

If you are from India...........Why do you want to download Fedora.........It is distributed with PCQuest and also with LinuxForYou magazines, I think Digit also gives it.......I am also waiting for Fedora Core4 to be given with these magazines, So now I am using Fedora Core3 :)

thasnks raghavendra

see my post bug in parted disk druid

i bought fc3 from mahavir

but i am not able to install with it

the magazines i know abt but i did not think they give operating system cds

well anyway fc4 is very nice

i have not seen fc3 desktop


it all started by trying to install linux 4 all ,live cd

i could not install it without fedoracore

hence i bought it

the 100 rs i spent on it is now a waste


how u were able to install fc3 with the partitioner bug?

i like to have all 3 desk tops if possible

in fc4 only kde and gnome desktops options r there

thanks for responding
i will try installing xmms

Hi
Yes these magazines do provide OS CDs/DVDs
I had no problems installing FC3 ( I have installed in many of my friends place also)
But anyway you are half way through FC4, so no point stopping now.

[raghavendra]

Just wanted to say that If you want to buy Linux CDs in Bangalore buy it from
http://www.gtcdrom.com/
They provide good quality CDs

Welcome ramaswamyps,

Good to see more Bangaloreans here!!!!!

Don't forget to check out: www.linux-bangalore.com

They should be meeting in a few months

[tejas]

Wow!!!!!!!!!! That site you posted is x-pensive Ragavendra!

buy your cds of www.bazee.com [which is now ebay.in],
get all 4 FC3 CDs for 100 buck, + 50 for delivery!

Good deal, compared to the 700 your link is asking

[raghavendra]

Hi
Yes it is expensive, I think I bought RedHat 7.2 from them, after that I have been using CDs given by the magazines.
Never tried Baazee so dont know about the quality.
I think we should Burn CDs for free at our places and pass it on to anyone who wants it :)

[tejas]

I know, how often does Linux For You come out? I want to get a subscription. They keep giving out entire distros! If I recall, the last CD came free with Knoppix Cluster 3.3. Didn't try it though

[raghavendra]

It is monthly
I think subscription for a year is Rs.725/-

The topic heading is XMMS
and here we are talking about Magazines :p
I think we should move this under a different new heading before the community managers start doing that ;)
