[luau] Creative DVD-Rom and Ogle

[Jeff Mings]

With all due respect to a Linux guru who knows much more than I, the 
problem is probably due to DMA being turned off by default.  On my first 
RH 8.0 machine, I was frustrated with the very same problem for several 
hours until I found instructions for turning on DVD DMA on freshrpms.net 
at http://freshrpms.net/docs/dvd/ .  Warren has placed the same info on 
his RH 8.0 tricks page on the MPLUG wiki.

Good luck,
-Jeff
