Thanks to you and Rodney for your help. I mis-worded my question (as usual). I do indeed have a DVD drive and am FTP-ing the DVD image for Fedora Core 3 even as I type this however, that was not what I meant to ask. I would like to be able to play DVD Movies on the Fedora box, and wondered if anyone had suggestions as to which DVD decoding/playing software is easy to install and reasonably efficient.
Thanks also for the added words about trimming unneeded packages. I usually go the "custom install" route since I am not interested in many of the applications that would be installed by default. The other area that will be interesting is getting my Fedora system to print through my Netgear print server.

The disadvantage if you're shooting for the Fedora test releases is I've never had a proper MD5sum through FTP or BitTorrent thus I've never burned the test candidate DVD. Hopefully 4 comes out soon. How much RAM do you have on that box? Don't forget to trim down things as much as you can after install to speed it up. --- Jim Darrough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am going to download and install Fedora core 3 or 4 (if > available) on my > venerable old Soyo/Athlon 650 this week and wondered if anyone has any > advice on how to install DVD software?
