<P>If you are a first-time installer: be sure to read everything from here to
  the end of the Installation section, and follow the links you will find. If
  you have any other questions, return to the Table of Contents and
  search for the topic, read the <A HREF="faq.html">FAQ</A>, or try grepping
  through the files.</P>

<P>The main rule of this documentation: if it's not documented, it
  <U>does not exist</U>. If I don't say you can encode audio from TV tuner, you
  can't (you can!:). A healthy quantity of combining ability is welcomed, though.
  Good luck. You'll need it :) And for another good advice, let me quote
  Chris Phillips from the
  <A HREF="http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/">mplayer-users</A>
  mailing list:</P>

  I said a while ago that there is such a difference between a newbie and
  a dumbass. No matter what you actually know about a system (linux, cars,
  girls :D) you should ALWAYS be able to take a step back and be objective,
  otherwise, you're just dumb IMHO. A girl i live with assumed the vacuum
  cleaner was broken because it didn't suck things up. never thought to change
  the bag, becasue she'd never done it before... now that's just stupid, not a
  case of simply not knowing what to do... Simply not being that familiar with
  your surroundings is no excuse for a) laziness and b) ignorance. So many
  people seem to see the word "error" and then stop...  few seem to actually
  read the words on the OTHER side of the colon.
