Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-10-24 19:00:19 MSD 
Lite 4.0.3

They tried to provide various ways to play the video http://www.gnu.org/fry/ with free software in the browser -- http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/OggOnTheRise (either with a special player or through a Java applet).

But neither works in Lite 4.0.3. 

Neither the installed video players (xine?) have  been setup by default to play video as Firefox plugins (in a Sisyphus system, vlc serves me for this purpose), nor a Java plugin has been installed (https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17672 ; it's quite strange: installing the big java-1.6.0-sun. but not the small plugin).

Lite 4.0.3 is not GNU friendly.

Доброго времени.
Актуально ли для современных дистрибутивов?

Продукт более не поддерживается. Если актуально, то необходимо перевешать на новый поддерживаемый репозиторий (p10, p11, Sisyphus).
