Hi friends...
I recently swiched to mandriva linux 2006..How can I install packages in it and where can i get new softwares?I need xmms, it is not there in mandriva DVD
You can install packages in Mandriva Linux using 'Rpmdrake'. In the search field
type' xmms' & click on the search button. When the search results are displayed ,
select 'XMMS' & click on 'Install' button. This will install XMMS in Mandriva Linux 2006.
If you are new to Linux world , check this link for more details:

You can also download XMMS from here:
*www.xmms.org/download.php
Choose the 'RPM' format, since Mandriva Linux uses 'RPM' format.
xmms is not available in mandriva dvd..
Are there any package dependancies?
You will need to add extra repositories. See here *easyurpmi.zarb.org/
And reading *www.mandrivafaq.org/ will be help too.
