Renan,

This does not work anymore for 10.0. In 10.0. you have to get multimedia
packages (mp3, DVD) that are not crippled from the packman repository.
Only libdvdcss needs o be obtained elsewhere. Lazy as i am I always keep
an old rpm i compiled myself on suse 9.1 and reuse it every time. No
problems until sofar.

This tells you how to add those additional resources and where to find them.

Some packages are also only available from other resources. This story
tells you how. Only the dvd story here is to complicated.

Good luck,
