Thanks, Wolf!

As I said originally, that machien is not networked, so everything I 
move to it is downloaded to another box (not fedora) and sneakernetted
over to it. So using APT or YUM isn't a viable idea.

I grabbed libdvdcss last night. will go look for the others you list, too.

Thanks again!
