Don't know why the thread topic needed to be changed, since it all ties together anyway. Imagine the difficulty others will have searching later. Chad, if you would bother to do a search on the email archives, you would find the subject of xine and the Packman files have come up often already. Because of that fact, a list of files have been explained many times as well. Things like this just require a little research in the right places, also explained here many times. You're a "Redhat Certified Technician", as your tagline mentions, which should signify you are capable of basic Linux thought, right? John, you mention it's not that simple, but as Peter points out, it is actually quite simple! I guess it didn't enter your mind at all that from 8.2 to 9.2 many things could have changed, so newer files would be needed to keep things working or adjustments needed? I'm not trying to be rude or pick on just a couple of the guys here, I'm really just trying to make a point. Pete explained how simple it was to get things (xine) working on his setup, I and many others experience no more difficulty. The only thing he might have left out is that the decrypting software, libdvdcss2, has to be downloaded and compiled for your machine to play dvd movies. What the Packman site provides is just a location to gather that file up and instructions on installing it. Since most of the guys that provide files for the Packman site work for SuSE as well, they aren't allowed to carry the software either, legally, but do provide you info on how to get it. If you are experiencing difficulty, dependencies or conflicts in installing software, you should look elsewhere for your solutions, not blame SuSE or a "crippled" xine! In the short time I have used SuSE Linux, I've come to find most of the problems I run into with Linux are associated with something I did. Sometimes with stuff I didn't know about, but that's usually when I searched for answers or ask my "guru" for help. ;o) Regards, Lee
