Craig how did you get the latest win32 codecs? Is it a rpm package I can
get with yum or do I need to do something crazy? I just recently got my
wife a HP that came with XP media center, that I haven't gotten around
to wiping it off yet (she's very impressed with SLED 10.1) so If I need
a windows computer to grab it I'll have that till about the end of the
day. (BTW does any one know if you can use the recovery discs to install
XP in a vmware guest OS?)
