Hey guys,

Well, I think I am way over my head. Recently i've started using SuSE Linux 10. I am totally new with linux and it seems like a really great operating system.
What i dont have though is a video player. I've used VLC with windows and its awesome! My only problem is that i can't get this thing to work on linux.

So if there's somebody kind enough to help, please do! I need super dumbed down step by step details on how to get VLC working on linux!

Thanks for all your help guys!

Install the RPM from PackMan.

Add PackMan to your Installation sources for YAST.

After that you can install VLC with YAST.

thanks!
