Hi, all --
I've been casually looking at the "play DVDs under Linux" struggle for years now but haven't stayed much up to date. Can I yet watch DVD movies on my laptop equipped with a DVD-ROM(/CD-RW) drive? If so, there is probably an RPM for it in my 8.1 package :-) though perhaps not because of silly US legislation :-( At any rate, please let me know where I need to go and what I need to get to do so.
You need to get xine or mplayer from packman. If you have apt make sure packman is in your sources.list. If not you can get it from http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.1-i386/RPMS.packman/ or from http://packman.links2linux.org/index.php4?action=125&vn=3 -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro
