How to install VLC player in mandriva linux 2006 free version?

See what VLC guys say : http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-mandriva.html
First download & install 'Easy urpmi' ( http://plf.zarb.org/)

Now open the Terminal Window and login as Root :
$ su -
(Enter password)
# urpmi libdvdcss2 libdvdplay0 wxvlc vlc-plugin-a52 vlc-plugin-ogg vlc-plugin-mad
This installs the required packages to play VCD/DVD etc.,
