Zenwalk Linux: http://www.zenwalk.org/ plays DVD's without any extra messing or downloading of files. It's also based on Slackware Linux as SuSE was many years ago. However, this does not really address the very frustrating situation that both Basil and myself have found ourselves in. I'll add here that I feel the inability to play back a legally purchased DVD in SuSE Linux is a setback to a potential newcomer to Linux. But, fear not Basil, there is a way of watching your DVD's :-) Go to this URL: http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/dvdplay/ and follow the very easy instructions. This is meant for 9.3 but I'm sure it should work with 10 or other revisions but may need slight tweaking. Hope this is of some help :-) -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Take care.
