Hello!

Stroller, good job pointing bravo 007 in the right direction.

BUT given the fact that BackTrack is a Live CD (see [1]),
and bravo 007 is asking on how to make mplayer work on it...
All I can say is : good luck!

Please, bravo 007, feel free to humour me,
but if you do so - tell us how you made mplayer run on BackTrack 3.

Anyway, what do you need mplayer for on a
"linux live distribution focused on penetration testing"?
Why not use a not-so-special-case distribution instead?
