Give us a little detail here:
what version of linux are you running? RedHat 8.0?

ok here' a start:

download apt from the uug.byu.edu site:

http://uug.byu.edu/apt.php

then follow the directions to apt-get update

then issue the command:
apt-get install mplayer mplayer-skins


ok while that is downloading and installing in a new terminal:
become root:
       su
make a link to your dvd drive:
       ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd

now, assuming everything is done exit out of being root:
       exit
then run mplayer:
       gmplayer


That should get you started. After that let us know what we can do?
