[NTLUG:Discuss] Redhat9 - hostid doesn't work

[severian@pobox.com]

Howdy,
   I like ogle as a DVD player, but this little machine has no external 
drives.  I am mostly interested in playing quicktime videos, mpegs, and 
divx files.  None of those worked due, I expect, to missing 
libraries.  Mplayer put up a non-useful error message the first time I ran 
it, teling me that SuSE had crippled it..  I am not saying I could not get 
them working eventually, but if someone else has done the work already, I 
don't mind using their research.
Good day,
Ralph
