Hi XzIt, you can install Gnome (witch has better mixer controls) by logging in as root and typing yum install gnome yum works like apt-get and will find the latest version of gnome for yellow dog. you can also update your yellow dog install to 4.0.1 with yum update As for playing mp3's, xine does a nice job. to install xine you need to edit /etc/yum.conf and add Code: [freshrpms]
then type yum install xinename=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Freshrpms baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/freshrpms/ [os] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 OS baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/os/ [updates] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/updates/ after xine is installed a link needs to be made to play dvd's, type ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd hope this helps nels |

Make sure the sound card is setup. click on start > system settings > soundcard detection click on a sound card (for Pegasos donot choose Apple computer Inc. ) click on play test sound if you hear sound choose a primary sound card at bottom of window and click ok. click start > control center click on sound & multimedia > sound system click enable the sound system check box click on apply nels |

@XzIt can you open the mixer controls? if you get an error when opening the mixer (ie. start > sound & video > volume control) make a link to mixer ln -s /dev/mixer /dev/mixer0 nels edit: sorry I wrote the link command backwards, it's ok now
