I have a 700 MB persistent home. I now want to try installing other programs than those available with klik like QDVD Author, Mplayer, and other video-editing programs. I tried downloading mplayer, but couldn't figure out how to get it installed. I tried:
1. kpackage, but it gave me an error=2 when I tried mplayer and several other packages
2. apt-get with:
apt-get update
apt-get install mplayer
The update part seemed to work but the text it displays after hitting enter is in Chinese for some reason, even though my regional settings say english. The install part clearly didn't work, but since its in Chinese I can't read the error message
3. dpkg -i install mplayer - also gave me an error in Chinese
4. I tried extracting the files and cd ing to the directory, I tried configure.sh, install, makefile, ect with no sucess.
Please, any suggestions of how I can get apps installed in Knoppix would be much appreciated!
