Hi Karl. At the freshrpms repo it's named libdvdcss, but on a Debian repo it's
named libdvdcss2. I havn't looked on the Livna repo, but perhaps it's named
libdvdcss2 there too. Or open Yumex, and have a look to see how it's named.
I don't use Yum, but Apt, and often use synaptic, Apts GUI, to look for
packages, when I'm not sure how they're named.
Nigel.
Well Nigel I went and looked at my /usr/lib/ and I put that in and yum installed this:
libdvdcss.i386 0:1.2.9-4.lvn6
and it WORKS!
I am now watching/listening to the Honeymooners so back to the fun.
