Re: low resources

Björn,

I attempted to play a DVD using Ogle so that I could send the exact 
message about the problems. I am using Ogle v0.9.2-ogle1 RH 7.x, 
downloaded as an rpm from the Ogle sight. I also downloaded and 
installed the Ogle gui.

When I open the gui, then try to open the video-ts directory on the DVD, 
a black box appears, as if Ogle were trying to play the DVD. The box 
then disappears, and I get the following in the terminal:

[root@localhost /]# ogle

When I try "Open Disk," I get the following:

As I said, I am running RedHat 8.0 on a 266 mhz PII Toshiba Tecra with, 
I believe, 128 megs of RAM.

I would be grateful for any help, including on how to set up the 
/dev/dvd/. I am new to Ogle, and have been using Linux for 6 months, but 
I am eager to learn and even help, if I can!

Thanks,
Ted Parks
