I googled for an alternative solution but couldn't find anything
useful.
since you are installing ubuntu 5.04, try installing automatix for 5.04
and install w32 codecs. worked for me..

Agreed. I guess a lot of people are currently using Aseems argument or
similar ones to criminalize FSF or OSS philosophy. Aseem has
presented it in a more civil manner. Most people dont do it.
Laws are in place to check exploitation and to guard the freedoms that
we have. Without these laws
Bottom line - rethink your business model - based on unlimited
availabilty and creation of knowledge rather than brain dead methods
of coercion, packaging and distribution.

LOL! So nice of you and hats off to your attitude! Nobody says you
shouldn't keep things to yourself and not share, but for such a great
attitude FOSS is not your base and we are not your brethren.
Here the rule is simple, you get the freedom if you are ready to give
the same to others,
If you are not a subscriber to FOSS philosophy then why talk about it
and the freedom what we all think as our life-breath. You are talking to
a community which thrives for Freedom. Please don't insult our passion
with such comments.
My intention was not to insult, just a disagreement
Please note that
the FOSS ideology does not work out economically with retail software.
FOSS earns big/mega bucks through support and customization.

I think the biggest mark you get in the long run will be when you learn
enough in your chosen field to command your price. Be it Linux or windows
or any field. just my HO :)
Does that tell you something about FOSS? Its power to the USER.
As long as it does not take power away from the maker. Sure ... more power
to the user.

The course is not much of a problem really; it's the way it is

This is so true. It's the way things are taught. It's like word of mouth
marketing. If you really like it you would not just teach it for money but
would like to talk about it anyways

FOSS actually does imply the right to modify and distribute.
Shouldn't the term freedom be restricted to modifying the code? If a coder
has to earn a living using principles of FOSS then the clause about free
to distribute should be removed don't you think?
