Totem DVD player

Fri Oct 12 08:16:56 UTC 2007

Dear community

Dear Mario.

I finnaly could enabled a program to run DVD.
As Mario realized, I am at the host of the un-skilled to pursue the most basic items about computing..
..but still an eager volunteer for the sake of shifting our technological environments... little by little and step by step...

Now I can see a movie with Kaffeine player, by following the basic instructions from Mario.

Sorry, Mario, for pretending such things from the standpoint of a complete ignorant... Your effort to explain the problem in the most natural didactics, was (this time) a succesfull attempt of communication...

Now, I will un-install de Totem movie player, 'cause it has no sense at all in my environment. (¿correct decision?)

Other thing I want to tell, is this: I Would like to continue in this mail-list, for the sake of my english (learning).. if this does not make you unconfortable.

Thank you.

Goodbye and still here.

Gerardo
