OTH I have also installed or given Suse boxes to folks who have managed w/ little to no hand-holding , to get it up and running w/ the multimedia working and w/ DVD watching installed should they want it. In my net we don't need it, but I found , surprisingly that a lot of the kind of Advert DVDs folks send, seem to play just fine w/ nothing added from anywhere except the Boxed DVD. I guess anyone could do that if they wanted to. Why they prefer discs that attempt to circumvent a user watching it except on their pre approved devices is anyones guess. I know we had DVDs on the computer long before we ever bought any for playing movies and whatever. OF course the various Playstations would play them, but that is another story altogether, and about as relevant on this list as your posting from another Distro. In case you missed it, this list is intended mainly to assist folks in getting their Suse version up and running. Did you have a question as to why Suse 10.2 isn't running on your system? -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
