I can't seem to find these instructions in the dox though, so I'll reluctantly ask you: What do I need to succesfully run mplayer. I mean: which port(s) and which kernel options need be set? An info page on FreeBSD and mplayer is also welcome ;-) -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.8 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody)
