Changed all link names from the section number to a sensible label.
Section numbers were 2.3.2.1. in the section names and 2.3.2.1 in the TOC.
I settled for the former everywhere. "Misc OS" is now called "Ports".
Checked all internal links, some of them were falsely pointing to renumbered
sections. This should no longer happen.
And in case some of you think "This must have been a lot of work!", that
does not even begin to describe it...

13 <P><B><A NAME="cd">4.1 CD-ROM drives</A></B></P> |
| 1682 | 14 |
| 6877 | 15 <P>Linux documentation excerpt:</P> |
| 1612 | 16 |
| 6878 | 17 <P>Modern CD-ROM drives can attain very high head speeds, yet some CD-ROM drives |
| 18 are capable of running at reduced speeds. There are several reasons that might | |
| 19 make you consider changing the speed of a CD-ROM drive:</P> | |
| 20 | |
| 21 <UL> | |
| 22 <LI>Ther have been reports of read errors at these high speeds, especially | |
| 23 with badly pressed CD-ROMs. Reducing the speed can prevent data loss under | |
| 24 these circumstances.</LI> | |
| 25 <LI>Many CD-ROM drives are annoyingly loud, a lower speed may reduce the | |
| 26 noise.</LI> | |
| 27 </UL> | |
| 1612 | 28 |
| 6877 | 29 <P>You can reduce the drive speed with hdparm or a program called setcd. |
| 30 It works like this:</P> | |
| 31 | |
| 32 <P> <CODE>hdparm -E [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P> | |
| 1682 | 33 |
| 34 <P> <CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 35 |
| 6877 | 36 <P>You can also try</P> |
| 1682 | 37 |
| 38 <P> <CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P> | |
| 39 | |
| 6877 | 40 <P>but you will need root privileges. The following command may also help:</P> |
| 1682 | 41 |
| 42 <P> <CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 43 |
| 6877 | 44 <P>This sets prefetched file reading to 2MB, which helps with scratched CD-ROMs. |
| 45 It is recommended that you also tune your CD-ROM drive with hdparm:</P> | |
| 1682 | 46 |
| 47 <P> <CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 48 |
| 6877 | 49 <P>This enables DMA access, read-ahead, and IRQ unmasking (read the hdparm man |
| 50 page for a detailed explanation).</P> | |
| 1612 | 51 |
| 6877 | 52 <P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for |
| 53 fine-tuning your CD-ROM.</P> | |

56 <P><B><A NAME="dvd">4.2 DVD playback</A></B></P> |
| 1682 | 57 |
| 5859 | 58 <P><B>MPlayer</B> uses <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> for |
| 6877 | 59 DVD decryption and playback. These two libraries are contained in the |
| 60 <CODE>libmpdvdkit/</CODE> subdirectory of the <B>MPlayer</B> source tree, you | |
| 61 do not have to install them separately. We opted for this solution because | |
| 5859 | 62 we had to fix a libdvdread bug, and apply a patch which adds |
| 6877 | 63 <B>cracked CSS keys caching support</B> to libdvdcss. This results in a large |
| 64 speed increase because the keys do not have to be cracked every time before | |
| 65 playing. The cracked keys are stored in the | |
| 66 <CODE>~/.mplayer/DVDKeys</CODE> directory.</P> | |
| 1612 | 67 |
| 6877 | 68 <P><B>MPlayer</B> can also use system-wide <CODE>libdvdread</CODE> and |
| 69 <CODE>libdvdcss</CODE> libraries, but this solution is <B>not</B> recommended, | |
| 70 as it can result in bugs, library incompatibilities, and slower speed.</P> | |
| 71 | |
| 72 <P>Support for DVD navigation via <CODE>dvdnav</CODE> is being worked on, but | |
| 73 not finished yet.</P> | |

| 154 <UL> | |
| 155 <LI>Do <B>not</B> mount VCD disks and play DAT files directly! It may work | |

| 158 <LI>VCD disks usually have 2 tracks: a data track (containing autostart | |

| 160 So try <CODE>-vcd 2</CODE> first.</LI> | |
| 161 <LI>The default VCD device is <CODE>/dev/cdrom</CODE>. If your setup differs, | |
