Comments:       Many of us (me, heh) like to watch
movies in the framebuffer. Or just
would rather not download a graphical
toolkit just to play a movie.

Here's one without any deps. Play in
FB or X, with vidix/XV accel or none.

For sound you'll of course need OSS or alsa.

Alternatively you can use OSS's alsa emulation, OSS_alsa.tcz, to let alsa apps run on top of OSS sound.

AFAIK in the specific case of skype that might require the invocation of pulse audio, at least to make mic capture work.

Not , yet .
I got tangled in lot of options this flexible distro offers.

I realized that abnormis and curaga build extensions too.
'Mplayer--nodeps' is my favourite .
I have not seen portable version of mplayer for linux anywhere .
In windows you get portable apps for most installable softwares , as a result you can carry  them and run on any windows OS system .
This is distro specific but still near that.
