Hi Daniel :)

I will as soon as everything is running, which I need, then I'll write down 
what I had to make it run.

Hm xine played dvd's in the past under gentoo, well I can play mp3's. But 
okay, I will take a look at PowerDVD and archived threads, true I missed 
that, I didn't think, there was a big issue with playing DVD's legally...

Indeed, that's handy.

I can't find it there, either, but it exists:

Thank you
is it normal, that when I go under Desktop/DisplayManager/DISPLAYMANAGER that 
there is no "entrance" in the dropdown? Just kdm, gdm, xdm, wdm, console.

Probably no need for that for I will anyway switch to enlightenment, IF i 
manage to :)

No, that's not true, the usbstick does not show up under media:/ ! Of course I 
thought as well, it would, but it seems as if it automounts it under /media 
because if you see it under media:/ it's not mounted yet (but as said, I 
don't see it there).

How could I forget that, me!? A SuSE veteran? :)

Of course, but the wizard there breaks after page 2 of 5 when I want to 
configure apache2. Without giving an error, the window just closes. had that 
now more than once, that the Yast Window just closed *shrug.

Anywayhanks for your links and answers!
