Hi people, I have had Red Hat 9 installed on my system for 4 days now but i cant find out how to watch dvd's I am running KDE. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Guessing you are trying to watch them by xine, you must be noticed it does not comes usually with codecs enabling encripted dvds watching (as usually they are).
Install first libdvdccs that should fit onto a floppy as well
This should be the problem
Hope this hepls
Ciao
Of course the easiest way is when you are first setting up your system.
Hope you are not NTFS because I think there is difficulty with that.
Anyway this link is pretty good
Yes, It will be your c drive. all of the directories typically under c:\ will now appear under
mount point /dos ie:
/dos/MyDocuments
/dos/Windows
/dos/MyDownloads
To access these drives from Linux you will typically have to be logged in as root.
Well, NT insists, I don't really know about other Windows.
You won't see anything different when you are in Windows, but if you save your file to
c:\MyDownloads\MyFile.xxx
You can grab it from Linux as
/dos/MyDownloads/MyFile.xxx
If you have multiple windows drives you can create mounts as dosc, dosd, dose etc.
Hi, How do i create a ./dos mount point? Well i have had a little luck, when i connect i can use google and autotrader no probs, but other pages keep timing out any ideas please? Thanks in advance
I can't explain creating DOS mount points in less than one line, and to tell you the truth seeing as this topic is How to play DVD's I think we are getting off topic.
You are very close to Internet connection. i think DNS is the next area to explore.
I think you need info from your ISP to complete that.
I'll read this again if you want to answer here, but I think you should start a new thread or search on Domain Name Servers (DNS)
Just one more tidbit on the DOS mount point.... You have to know where the partition exists- ie hda1. Where on your computer in Linux syntax does Windoze exist?
Here is a snip from my /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat defaults 0 0
If you compare this to your own /etc/fstab you might get a solid feel for what I
am suggesting
Thanks for your help. Well I have altered the DNS to suit my ISP and i can still only go on google and autotrader and nothing else I dont know what else to do now. Please help if you can. Thank you.
