>From that I found the releases at
http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.8/

 &gt; 
 &gt; Ok, so I was too impatient to wait for the next =
LUG meeting.&nbsp; 
 &gt; I started 
 &gt; with an installation of KnoppMyth and I have a =
few issues 
 &gt; right off the bat.
 &gt; 
 &gt; 1) libdvdcss isn't included, which I =
expected.&nbsp; Being this is 
 &gt; Debian-based, I was excited to give my first =
try at using 
 &gt; apt.&nbsp; So I try 
 &gt; apt-get and got some errors.&nbsp; I was told =
to do first do an apt-get 
 &gt; update before trying the apt-get on =
libdvdcss.&nbsp; Even that managed to 
 &gt; bomb so Debian users who chime in with =
smart-a$$ remarks like &quot;all I 
 &gt; have to do is apt-get&quot; will feel my wrath =
next time.&nbsp; But 
 &gt; seriously, how 
 &gt; do I get that installed?
 &gt; 
 &gt; 2) Sound doesn't work.&nbsp; 'aplay =
&lt;some_wav_file&gt;' won't work. Is there 
 &gt; something the quivalent of sndconfig in redhat =
or am I missing 
 &gt; something?&nbsp; I don't have the chipset but =
it's on-board sound.
 &gt; 
 &gt; 3) Could the mythtv-setup screens have any less =

 &gt; documentation?&nbsp; I mean, 
 &gt; the only thing worse would be to take the =
labels off the form fields. 
 &gt; I've got a hauppauge 250.&nbsp; Can someone =
tell me what I should put for 
 &gt; default input (i've been using Tuner 0)
 &gt; 
 &gt; 4) Also, at the last meeting someone mentioned =
what I'd have to do to 
 &gt; get this box working via remote with the =
DirectTV tuner I have.&nbsp; I 
 &gt; confirmed it does not have a serial port so =
what are my options?
 &gt; 
 &gt; To help keep me positively motivated, are there =
any other 
 &gt; 'cool' plugins 
 &gt; with Myth I should consider that aren't =
included by default 
 &gt; in KnoppMyth?
 &gt; 
 &gt; TIA,
