It's a pity that if you install WinXPHome you get MP3 support in the basic system - and when you buy a DVD drive (well for all the ones I have bought myself or for others - about 5 different models - total of about 9 of them over the years) you get windows DVD player software that works with any DVD (ignoring region issues ...) Yet now if you install RH 8.0 you don't get these things and have to go and find them and install them (and your typical home user would probably need help to do that) Oh well - I guess MM is not a priority? Since MP3 and DVD are really up there at the top of the list of music and video formats. -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding! -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
