Michael, A couple of things. First of all, you can use tab completion to avoid these types of problems at the command line. If you start typing in a name on the commandline and hit the "Tab" key, it will fill in the rest of the value for you, or give you a list of file names that start with what you have already written. For example you can type: rpm -ivh Real[Tab] and it should fill in the rest of the file name, since the file is sitting in the current directory. Second of all, you are trying to install a beta version of RealPlayer. RealPlayer 10 Gold was released not to long ago, and I would recommend installing it instead. You can get the stable version from http://www.real.com/linux/ Since you are using Debian, don't download the RPM packages. Click the link that says "Download RealPlayer" and download the file RealPlayer10GOLD.bin once you have this file, become root and issue the following commands: chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin This will take you into the RealPlayer installer and guide you through setting everything up.
Good luck, Jesse _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
