My system used to hang using dvdrip. I solved the problem by disconnecting my DVD drive from my Promise IDE interface (built into my ASUS A7V333 motherboard) and connecting it to my standard IDE controller (VIA). As a welcome side effect, my drive was much faster afterwards. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {PGP/GnuPG: http://dhanapalan.com/yama.asc 049D38B4 | A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "Because I'm a bastard, and proud of it!" -- Linus Torvalds
