Hi all
I am new in Linux, I manage to install Knoppix 5.1.1 in my HDD and it works well...But as far as the video concerned, I've tried to play my dvd clip with KAFFEINE and this program is asking me WIN32 CODECS-ALL for Linux.How can I get it and how to install it in knoppix 5.1?
Can anyone help me?

My computer doesn't run Knoppix, but I suspect is similar enough to it, so...

Open up a console and type "apt-cache search codec". Hit RETURN.
There will probably be many lines of output, amongst them something like
"w32codecs - win32 binary codecs".

If not, try editing /etc/apt/sources.list (you need to be root for this) and add the line
"deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main". Run "apt-get update" after this
(you always have to after editing above file; again you need to be root) and repeat
the "apt-cache" command.

Assuming that you now have a "w32codecs" or similar output (if not, somebody else
must help you along) type (as root) "apt-get install w32codes". After that you should be fine.
