Ok, I would appreciate that.

<grin> Ok, I'll take a look. I was just wondering if there was something
at the kernel level that I needed to be aware of.

Yup, I've got DeCSS. =) I made sure I grabbed that puppy when all the
sh*t hit the fan, so to speak. The DVD-ROM that I have didn't come with a
decoder board (it was a difference between $169 or $389 CAN for two
different drives, one with the board and one without), so I have to rely
on software decoding... I'll give DeCSS a shot.

Yuck! That's pretty annoying. Ok, so there's nothing I need to do at the
kernel level in order for this to work?
