dvd

[panther]

:D , hello, does anyone knows how can I enable dvd on my pc, redhat does not support dvd, but you can enable it by adding a command line to etc.config..., which i have done, but the playback is quite choppy

hi, could you tell me that command?`

[panther]

ok, go to /etc/modules.conf

and edit : options ide-cd dma=1

The easiest way and what I did was install apt from freshrpms.net then use that to install xine/ogle/xmms-mp3 etc with the simple commands apt-get update and apt-get install packagename

how do you obtain apt

As above, go to freshrpms.net and download the rpm file from:

http://psyche.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=243

Install it with:

rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.4cnc9-fr1.i386.rpm

then you can run:

apt-get update

then:

apt-cache search xine

to find the relevant package or:

apt-cache search dvd

the to install just use:

apt-get install packagename

It's worth reading the /etc/apt/sources.list file after installing to check it's pointing to the correct servers for RH8.0

I have used apt
but it can not run normally because it cannot read rightly the rpm dialog and it finds more than one version of w33codec, I deleted the w32 but and the system cannot find w32 but still when I run apt gives the same message any clues?
