Enabling multimedia and restricted formats in systems not connected to the internet can be a pain with any linux distro with a lot of dependency problems. The aim of this post is to help out such persons by providing the required RPMs AND Dependencies in one archive. I have selected a few software which may be required on such PCs. This list is in no way complete, but just represents what I think may be the bare minimum one would like to have on a multimedia desktop PC.
[size=+1]I have covered the following software:[/size]
Adobe flash player - for viewing flash animations
Realplayer
Acrobat Reader - required to open encrypted pdfs
Java
Mplayer - multimedia player
XMMS - winamp lookalike
K3b - CD/DVD ripping, burning
DeVeDe - Create VCD, SVCD, DVD
Audacity - audio editor
AviDemux - similar to VirtualDub
Fonts
You will need an internet connection to download this zip file, and extract it to a folder in your Home directory.

Maybe a friend can help you to download it and mail it to you on a cd if you stay in a remote area.
Press Alt+F2, type yast and press Enter, key in your root password and press Enter. This is one way of opening YaST, the system administration panel of OpenSuSE. Click on Software Repositories

Give the repository a name, I have given the name essentials, click browse and browse to that folder and click Open, and check the checkbox that says plain rpm directory
*img181.imageshack.us/img181/2593/t4mo5.th.png
This is what you will get, just select essentials and see if automatically refresh is checked, if not checked do so, and click Finish

Now open YaST->software Management and in the search box type, search and check the following:
Adobe flash player - search for flash
Realplayer - search for real player
Acrobat Reader - search for acroread
Java - search for sun and tick java_1_5_0-sun and java_1_5_0_sun-plugin
Mplayer - search for mplayer and mplayer plugin, search for w32 and check the result you get
XMMS - search for xmms
K3b - search for k3b and check k3b and k3b codecs

You will get a Konqueror browser as a super user.
Make a new folder called core in /usr/share/fonts and copy all the TTF fonts from your C:/windows/fonts to it.

Installing Xine and Amarok

Some of the files in the above repository are required as dependencies so this will not work on its own.
Note:You may have to go to YaST->Software Repositories, delete the repository you added above and add it again, if the refresh does not take place properly. It happens some times
Go to YaST->Software Management
Search for libxine and check it. If you get a warning dialog, check the box which asks the problem solver to run all possible solutions, it will resolve automatically
Search for amarok and click on the check mark so that it becomes an update sign as shown in the pictures below

ntfs-config: A tool to make your ntfs partitions writable
Download ntfs-config from here
*www.mediafire.com/?ahwetexsjev
save it to the repository folder you created above.
Open YaST->Software Management
and search for ntfs, and check ntfs-config and click accept. If you do not see ntfs-config delete and add the repository as explained in the Note above.
After it has installed go to KMenu->Applications->New Applications->Configuration Tool NTFS Configuration Tool (it will be at the bottom of the New Applications List)
Key in your root password when asked for and enable by checking in the checkboxes for internal and/or external drives.
Other irritants:

Configure Desktop->Appearance and Themes->Style->Light Style 3rd revision->Apply
Configure Desktop->Window decorations->Plastik->Apply
