libdvdcss
 

Hello, (and Merry Christmas/New Year),

I have installed Debian 3.1 (Sarge) on one of my ageing Compaq M300 laptops. I am ok on with installing applications from the CD-ROM's using APTITUDE, but my problem is this:-

I would like to watch commercial DVD's. I have downloaded LIBDVDCSS and saved it to the HDD & USB memory stick/pen-drive and I would like to know how I go about installing it. As I am a 'newbie' to the LINUX command line/terminal please help me.

I have searched for similar threads and the only one I could find was for an install with another LINUX distro and I got a little lost.

Also, my USB memory stick/pen-drive is seen and avalible under 'Gnome' but not 'KDE'. How do I get 'KDE' to see it?

Many thanks,

Philip.

Hi and welcome to LQ. You can install individual applications using dpkg e.g.

Why don't you install Etch (the current stable version) then edit slightly /etc/apt/sources.list
to add some repositories and install everything using aptitude.
