Hello, Yes I do know about the libranet-users mailing list, but it is so active I have to read through so many other posts that I am afraid to submit a query unless it is absolutely necessary. I would feel obligated to read every reply in the list to my query until I successfully install real player 10. I did not want to commit myself to that kind of action when I have much good help here on the clug site on a much more manageable traffic load.
It looks like Jesse Kline's suggestion may work, so I will give it a try first. Thanks, Michael __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On August 9, 2004 02:53 pm, s. keeling wrote: > Incoming from Michael Walters: > > I noticed that the file name I typed in to install had a number of errors > > including not capitalizing R and P in RealPlayer and having one to many > > ones in .1186- (should have been .186-). > > > > So I logged in as root and went to my Dl directory and saw in red letters > > "RealPlayer-0.4.0.186-20040615.i586.rpm" which was the file name of the > > file I downloaded to my Dl directory.
