I'm guessing that you downloaded that file at 11:19 P.M. last night. ;-) If you look at the file name ... it was probably rolled on the 15th of June this year. (200406115). The timestamp is the creation date of the file ... not the date the file was packaged ... that is the date and time when it landed on your file system (or was last modified on your filesystem) If you want to know what files will be installed by the rpm, then type : rpm -qpl realplayer 0.4.0.1186-20040615.i586.rpm To install it you need to be the root user and type : rpm -ivh realplayer 0.4.0.1186-20040615.i586.rpm (-ivh) means -i : install -v : verbose output (tells you stuff happening) -h : show hash marks (like a progress bar) Alternatively : rpm -Uvh realplayer 0.4.0.1186-20040615.i586.rpm -U : update if a previous package is installed -v : same -h : same _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
