I don't know what it was touching - dvgrab and kino have permission problems right from the beginning. I'd ask the kids what they had to change but they're asleep (my 13 year old knows more about admin in linux than I do :). My point was and is - it required learning msec to make MDK useful to my non-computer-geek kids. Fortunately for them they have a brother who is a geek - we should not depend on that for average users. The problem was and is - msec changes things root has changed. That is absolutely always wrong. There is no exception. -- Murray J. Root
