Yea.. I was looking into that. That is why I pointed him to the
linuxvideo.org they are implimenting some stuff towards the kernell and
software to decode DVD's so they can be played...from what I gather.

Well that would be strange, since DVD is not _YET_ supported by the kernel.

I think I can cover that DVD Issue..
I think there MAY be a DVD player for linux...if you remeber the DECSS
scandal that has been going on with the MPAA so there may be one for linux
check www.2600.com *captincrunch* they are currently at the center of it ).

During install from floppy MDK 7 will ask if it can copy addidional
information to the boot floppy, then reboot.
After installation check syslinux.cfg on the floppy. there should be lines
like
" append ramdisk=32000 initrd=hd.rdz mdkinst hd ide2=0xb000,0xb402
ide3=0xbc00,0xc002"
ensure that /etc/lilo.conf contains the "ide2=etc and the ide3= portions

someone else ?
