+ DVD issue :
the popup is the standard KDE window, so do an upstream bug report at <a href="http://bugs.kde.org/" title="kde.org">http://bugs.kde.org/</a kde.org>
Now You need to install the needed librairies to read encrypted DVD ( libdvdcss2 ). It's illegal to provide theses libs y default in some countries ( USA because of DMCA,<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... ) You can get the package by the plf project and media.
See <a href="http://easyurpmizarborg/" title="easyurpmizarborg">http://easyurpmizarborg/</a easyurpmizarborg> to see how to add them

+ Firefox 2.0 :
Do you remember the release date of Mandriva 2007 ? 10/29/2006 So Firefox 2 was out<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... way after the 2007 release. So unless Mandriva have a time control machine, they can't release FF2.
Now FF2 may eventually be release in updates minus all issues with extension compatibilities and application rebuild that rely on gecko librairy ( epiphany, galeon, mono-gecko, yelp )

+ Concerning iptables vs Shorewall, I can't really see how you can solve the issue<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...
iptables service is installed for people who may want to do their rules themself ( they disable shorewall, they eneables iptables, and the do their rules in<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/sysconfig/iptables ).

Return to Mandriva 2007: Back in the race
