okay, done that... It did successfully install the stuff for me. and then I installed a load of stuff from the medibuntu repos... etc etc But I'm running on 64bit architecture (sorry - forgot to mention that earlier :/), and there is no gstreamer0.10-pitfdll available for me. And it won't install from source. This can't be right?! Surely it can't be that I a 64bit linux user can't watch dvds?! =================================== Farran Lee I'm only 15 :P
