You can get kmplayer and ftp clients from XN. I have gftp and krusader installed. Enable expert in view you will see more. the easiest is to use search in XN to find things.

Tried the stuff about Mplayer. Get message about broken pakages.

Tried installing via console per link on forums, still no go.

Download and create a directory to unpack (if compressed) software.

Mplayer from http://www.geekconnection,org are 4 normal DEB files.

Then:
1) start "Xandros Networks" (XN)
2) chose "Edit" (in XN)
2.1) chose "Install DEB File..."
3) select preferred "Mplayer" files
3.1) click "Open" (button) and it installs.

You need having "Xandros Distribution Site" enabled. Some software
need dependies from "Debian Unsupported site". If getting errors like
"broken packages". Open "Console" with Administrator (rights) and
type "apt-get -f install" and hit "enter". That should normally fix
those errors.

There are scenarios when using software from other repositories
that need dependies that are not available from Xandros servers.
Then these must be searched elsewhere, but that could also give
more errors and problems. One repository that usually works is
http://www.backports.org/debian/README.mirrors.html

Debian repositories? Start at http://www.debian.org
Or check both of the links in my first reply in this tread
again! Here you find also newer Amarok.

Thanks Doctore,

Things are fine now. Personally, I think they should have a "sticky" listing all repos in this section so folks don't have to hunt all over.

I've posted the proper how-to in a wiki and linked the instructions on the download page.

Hopefully, installation will go much smoother in the future. Smile

ArchLUG is back online. The DNS entries were replaced when the domain expired without my knowledge or notification.

To prevent this, add this to your /etc/hosts file:
