Slow down Bubba. ;) FIRST, the DVD play problem is DRM, so DON'T start jumping 
on SUSE......they are only making sure they're legal here in the US. Now, how 
big of a file will your ISP allow you to receive? I have all the proper 
files, compiled for SUSE 9.3 that you need to get around the DRM nonsense. 
The archive is 29.3MB. IF you can't receive that large a file, and if you 
live in the US, I can burn a CD with it, and about 80MB of fonts and other 
stuff for you. If you'd asked before you tried to get the files, I'd have 
told you what what was needed.
