Malev 0 #2 July 27, 2004 Download the following files into an empty directory: http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/8.0/libdvdcss/libdvdcss-1.2.8-1.fr.i386.rpm http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/rh71/libdvdread-0.9.4-ogle1.i386.rpm http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/rh71/ogle-0.9.2-ogle1.i586.rpm http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/rh71/ogle_gui-0.9.2-ogle1.i386.rpm Open a terminal window, and go to that directory ("cd /path/to/directory"). Type "su ", replacing "" as appropriate. Type "rpm -ivh *.rpm" Type "exit". The packages should now be installed (unless you have seen any error messages). To run, type "ogle_gui" in the terminal window. Note - I haven't installed this, but above should work, unless you are missing other packages.
