SuSE Coming on DVD

Not to be pessimistic, but what happens if you want to install packages after installation, given that Linux can't read DVD's consistently? Or can they make it so no decoding needs to be done? Or are they planning to have a reliable method for reading DVD's by then?
Thanks for the info! Tried it, but it says "Fatal server error: No "Display" subsection for -bpp depth 16" Any idea what file this is coming from, or how to fix it?
Anyone else having this problem? I used css-cat with -v, and it appeared to work (got a huge output.vob), but when I do mpeg2player -vob -na -f output.vob, it just prints some data out and pops open a window that remains blank. It says something about "requires 16 bit display" - anyone have an idea what's happening?
I followed the instructions in the HOWTO and got to the tstdvd step, but when I run it, it tells me: GetASF failed N/A, invalidating: Invalid argument N/A, invalidating: Invalid argument N/A, invalidating: Invalid argument Request AGID[1]... Request AGID[2]... Request AGID[3]... Cannot get AGID Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, found a way around it?
For Quicken, at least, try GnuCash - it claims to be able to read Quicken files and provide some of the same functionality. Can't help you with the rest, though...:-)
Way to go, guys! Haven't actually tried it yet, but based on the comments above, it looks good! Now maybe I can finally convince my roommates that Linux is better than Windoze!
But a lot of the reasons that people like Linux (long uptimes, etc.) is that people *could* work on it open-source - even if I can't hack into the kernel, I can still reap the benefits of others that have...

That happened to me - fixed it by using the -v flag...
Nevermind - using the other patch fixed it...

I'm gonna host the first Slashdot mirror on the moon! Of course, it will be a little slow, but think of the media coverage!
I use Google for everything anyway...who needs Lycos? :-)
