read the doc but it still does not explain how i can copy the same
unreal .dat file under windows - using just a normal copy command and
then rename the file under linux and play. Infact once its copied i
don't need to rename it just plays.

The rest does make sense

is the Linux version of Power DVD available in apt-get - has anyone used
it ??
