i found it.iam able to connect to the net.

but iam stuck with xmms.fedora does not have xmms

 

i downloaded it to my desktop but i dont know how to install it.

 

and another issue which i have is that when we use fedora and windows in a dual boot system the grub boot loader waits only 5 seconds before seleting the defult os.

Is there any way to increse the wait time for the grub boot loader.

 

thx a lot.

yes i have to connet.but i just figured it out.it was in the networks under system.

 

but i have no idea how to run xmms

xmms is easy

 

open a console (terminal)

 

then type this

 







 

that's a 'su' (for superuser) followed by a SPACE and then a DASH

 

once done, do this

 







 

that will install xmms for you (no need to download it to your desktop

 

cheers
