Hi,

Is there anything to change after you install apt (change the mirror, for 
example)? "apt-get install mplayer" returns a no package found, even after 
apt-get update.

My other problem (for both mplayer and xine) is that they don't appear to cope 
with the drivers for graphic card and sound card on my 12" powerbook 
"aluminium".
