    I tried to but it had an error that I do not understand. I went up 
with Software Sources and I clicked on the bottom item which says 
Installable from CD-ROM/DVD but still cannot get the thing that works on 
Hardy to work.

    On Hardy I used

apt-get install libdvdcss

and it worked just fine.

    I get a message saying libdvdcss is part of another package that it 
cannot let me download.

    I did look at that and got VERY confused. It is a very busy web page 
and has lots of things to try. I have not tried the right thing it appears.

    It appears I can run the GUI Software Sources ok, so what must I do 
to get the right thing done?

    I do not know what the above web page is for. I see no way to get 
the proper stuff. But I did d/l libdvdcss from this web page. I forget 
where to load a lib and get it working.

I realize this but all the care used to make it look like it isn't being 
done has me confused.
