Do you mean '/etc/hosts'?
It seems from a later post that your ping looked up the correct IP
address, so presumably you did edit the correct file, but I thought it
would be worth checking.

It depends what you're doing. If you want to distribute this as a DVD
then you want to select PAL DVD. The 1080 options are all
high-definition and I rather doubt any DVD players could play this.
Blu-ray players could, but are they common yet? I recently saw a Blu-ray

The ideal thing would be a USB keyboard with a built-in hub, Mac style.
The USB wireless keyboard/mice are fine, the computer sees it as a USB

Whatever method you use you will need to install libdvdcss2 on your

A more complex answer is that audio CDs don't actually contain files or
