Brown paper bag moment. My apologies for asking something that you've already documented in the book. Do you know if it's necessary to insert the DVD before starting parole (I had a problem like that with xfburn telling me the drive was empty). ? I think the error on my previous attempt was something like 'no such device'. Perhaps I mistyped. Playing nicely, but I'm still puzzled by those menu options. No matter.

I think that they should handle CD's. Anyways, I used parole when I first built Xfce, but I can't remember if there was any "open disc" option ... -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

[blfs-support] Parole : CDs and DVDs
The second of my current niggles : parole is fine with my stored multimedia files, but it doesn't let me play real DVDs or CDs - the menu options only lead to an option to play from an iso file. Any ideas what I'm missing, please ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
