Just to continue the recommendations for ogle.
I've run it successfully on a PIII-515 (100 overclocked to
103), with a Voodoo3. a PII-463 (same overclock), was not
quite enough to handle it. All under 1.6BETA with
SHMMAXPGS=16384. I didn't play with updating HZ to 1024
though I understand that would be a help.
I needed to update the firmware on the DVD drive to make
it region free, and for my own edification put together a
package for libdvdcss (http://www.mono.org/abs/libdvdcss.tbz),
but I understand there are issues over distributing it...
;)
On the DVD topic - we've recently bought a pioneer DVD-RW
drive at work for archiving weblog data. I'm getting nicely
over 4GB of bzipped data on each disk using a modified
version of cdrecord
(http://www.abcpages.com/~mache/cdrecord-dvd.html) plus
the NetBSD pkgsrc cdrecord patches...
