While it may have been 'extensively covered' what was said does not get
me going re viewing DVDs on SuSE 10! I have followed Fred's list but it
doesn't tell the whole story so for a 'newbie' as Daniel whatever
suggestions he has received so far is not going to get him going re
viewing DVDs on SuSE 10. Saying to him, "With the exception of libdvdcss
everything is there [on packman.links2linux.org]" is simply a non-event
and would cause him more angst. I cannot see anyting on packman which
states, "This is what you need to view DVDs on SuSE 10".

I have just written to Fred asking him a couple of questions about how
he actually got 10 to play DVDs because one of the files he says he
installs won;t install here because of a dependeny problem.

Cheers.
