Do you know about any such problems? It seems as if a string 'SUSE-Linux-10.1-Add-on' is submitted and this leads to a "No products to register" on the server side...

Well, the CD is not a product you could register, because it is not from SUSE. I can look into it for later versions. Not right now. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

Just to add to that ... I've also created Suse Linux 10.1 OSS (no CD6) ...

Some others you can create: CD1-3+6 CD1+6 CD1-6 + MPlayer + libcssdvd + mad + ... That last one could be a nice one. first make a directory (e.g. ~/media_32bit), then make the following subdirectories: athlon i386 i486 i586 i686 noarch Download the needed RPMs into each subdirectory. Download anything else you might want to add. run `makeSUSEdvd -a ~/media_32bit` and your multimedia DVD is ready for use. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

Hard to explain to the user the benefits of a Lin Desktop -- when they come back with "But I can play DVDs and MP3 straight with Windows XP".

Not sure about the MP3 stuff, but normally WindowsXP does not play DVDs by default. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Werk und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das Tun - Johannes Müller-Elmau

Most ppl however get DVD playback software with either their DVD hardware or video cards these days (pity it's normally Windows only) :-/

Yes, or pre-installed by their hardware vendor. Also sometimes the software is availble on the DVD itself. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

could it be possible that the licence apply to any reader?

I mean, I have a driver cd with all what is necessary to read dvd/mp3 with windows. but I have not Windows :-)

may I legally read mp3/dvd?

should be! I paid for!

Sure you are allowed to see and hear them. However it might be that the software to do so is not available. Look at it this way. You make your own music or make your own DVD. You certainly have the rights to view them. The license is not about the media you are playing. It is about the player itself. You have the right to use the player that they gave you. If that does not work, it does not mean you can use another one. Anyway. There are solutions that are pretty easy. wget http://houghi.org/script/MPinstaller.10.1 && sh MPinstaller.10.1 (Untested for SUSE 10.1) or wget http://houghi.org/script/MPinstaller && sh MPinstaller for SUSE 10.0 houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
