[Sussex] DVD drive and Kaffine question

[Desmond]

Firstly,
I am never happy with the arrangement of drives.
My preference is for both HDs to be set as master and both CDs set as 
slaves. From experience I have usually found this to be preferable. So 
Primary UDE carries HD + CD and secondary IDE carries the other HD and CD.

Secondly,
On the reading of DVD you do well to look at VLC. Using the 'penquin 
liberation front' you end up with all the codecs you are likely to want 
plus you can then play any region disk.
I will be bringing my Laptop on Thursday and you can try it for yourself.
