<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Jim, thanks for the help but it's still not playing so I think I'll just junk SuSE and try something else. <br>
Originally I tried to install Mepis 7 (64 bit) but it would not recognise my RAID setup and tried to install on one disk or the other.<br>
Anyone got any suggestions as to which distro will do what I want i.e.rip/play/store music files, play the odd DVD, view/store photo files, run OO.o3 and Firefox, preferably with KDE front end, which can be installed on an AMD x2 machine with RAID.<br>

There is a known bug in OpenSuSE 11.1 (which I haven't come across <br>
myself, surprisingly enough), which the team are working on. It's down <br>
to permissions for CD/DVD drives, and here's /a/ workaround if it is that*:<br>
<br>
YAST >> Security and Users >> User Management >> "select your user" >> <br>
Edit >> Details >> Groups >> check "cdrom" and "disk" and then click on <br>
"ACCEPT".<br>
<br>
There are several more (temporary) fixes, but I won't give you the <br>
50,000-odd Google hits in one big email... this one would seem to <br>
suffice until Novell or the community find a way to patch this rather <br>
embarrassing cockup.<br>
<br>
*If you can access the drive with a data DVD or CD then it most likely <br>
is this.<br>

Are more people violently opposed to wearing fur than leather because it's <br>
easier to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs? <br>
