Wireless network on IBM T30

[José Paulo Matafome Oleiro]

For adding multimedia you only need to to the following steps:
sudo apt-get install totem-xine vorbis-tools sox faad lame imagemagick
ffmpeg mjpegtools

then install gstreamer
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiuniverse
gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg gstreamer0.8-mad gstreamer0.8-plugins
gstreamer0.8-lame

after install gstreamer type:
gst-register-0.8

to install support for DivX for example you need to do the following
steps:
wget
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb

then you type:
sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb

to watch dvd's with libdvdcss (only do this if you live in a country
that this is allowed, contact your attorney)
you need to install libdvdread with apt-get
then execute the following command:
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh

Only this steps and it's all done. Some commands maybe are old, for
example I don't know if the version of gstreamer today is 0.8.
To know what version is you must write
sudo apt-cache search gstreamer and see the details

That's all I know
