You can check out my tutorial for libre-only codecs (sorry, it's in Italian): http://andrealazzarotto.com/2010/11/01/guida-installare-i-codec-su-ubuntu-per-riprodurre-tutti-i-file-multimediali-e-i-dvd/ If you need some tips about tweaking the ISO, just drop me a line and I will reply ASAP. -- *Andrea Lazzarotto* - http://andrealazzarotto.com* * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
