Hi.  First, my great appreciation to those that have answered my
questions thus far.  The transition to Linux has been greatly eased by
it. 

Second,third, and fourth, I have 3 questions: 

1)  I note on the RPM listing at
http://uug.byu.edu/apt/redhat/8.0/en/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/ that the file
mpeg2dec-0.3.1-fr1.i386.rpm is available.  Will this allow me to play
DVD's in Linux?  If not, what does it do, and what would allow me to
play DVD's?

2)  I have attempted to install the Shockwave plugin for Mozilla.  I
followed the directions on the Shockwave site.  When I got to step 4,
which reads:

    Navigate to this directory and from the command line type
    ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer (Note: this can only be
    run from the command line). The installer will instruct you to shut
    down your browser(s).
    
I received the message:

    bash: ./flashplayer-installer: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission
    denied
    
How does one deal with this?

3)  I note on the UUG RPM pages that there are RPMs and SRPMs.  What is
the difference?

Many thanks for the help--

Andrew
