There is no open source wma9 codec for linux. So to play wma version9's you need the closed source win32 codec. To keep linux distro's open source, they are not included, but can be downloaded from http://mplayerhq.huabout your DVD, there's nothing linux can do about damaged DVD's Maybe you should try cleaning the lense of your DVD player. the menu thing will be a Knoppix bug. are you sure there not running ? some programs run as daemons (no interface) for example the samba daemon. Gaim works fine, probably a knoppix bug.. Unless you are using an old version and attempting to access yahoo or MSN. Microsoft especially like to randomly tweak the protocol to annoy 3rd party clients, a patch is usually released within a day or so. Linux is easy aslong as you have a little UNIX experiance, and if not, most people learn quite quickly. within a few weeks most people are comfotable compiling applications themselves, within a few months, most people can master custom kernel configureation and compalition.

I have w32codecs in my SuSE partition, the other, being Win2K. Gaim works on SuSE 9.3 and u need libdvdcss in order to play copyrighted DVDs. To install it for Knoppix, in your console, do sudo apt-get install libdvdcss (by doing sudo, you must enter the root password. Please also double check to do apt-get update before doing apt-get install <package>) xboxrulz
