Hi Karl. At the freshrpms repo it's named libdvdcss, but on a Debian repo it's 
named libdvdcss2. I havn't looked on the Livna repo, but perhaps it's named 
libdvdcss2 there too. Or open Yumex, and have a look to see how it's named.

I don't use Yum, but Apt, and often use synaptic, Apts GUI, to look for 
packages, when I'm not sure how they're named.

Nigel.
