A typo - sorry about that. The scale is from 1 to 10, as mentioned at the end of the Debian part.

...and URPMI does auto-dependencies...

...this means that if you ask for mplayer's GUI, it will fetch the required command-line version (and whetever else) as well.

Also if there happened to be an update mplayer on the mirrors, you'd need to do a "urpmi.update nameofsourcehere" before you did the first urpmi command; this works kind of like apt-get update.
