Okay, some good feedback so far :-)
This is just the first part, obviously I'd rather have "Installation"
somewhere seperate rather than the actual FAQ, mostly due to the fact that
installing it isnt terribly difficult. There's other things that could go in
an FAQ IMO.

How recent does this CVS version of mplayer need to be?
Im using mplayer-1.0_pre4 ATM and its fine.

I've admittedly got one hell of a long way to go, but this is just the first
part of it. I was mostly hoping for a bit of feeback (And its been good so
far :-) and confirmation that I wasnt treading on anybodies toes by writing
it.

Its 10am here, work for another 6 hours... Then I'll see what more I can come
up with.

Cheers


Chill.
