OK, let's try and deal with your problems one at a time.

1. You say that you installed real in usr/bin/RealPlayer10.bin. I'm not
quite sure what you mean by this. My suggestion was to tell the
installer to install into /opt/RealPlayer and put symlinks into
/usr/bin. I'm not sure why you are having this problem, but we can find
out. First of all, you can look in the directory that you installed real
into, and find a file called install.log. In my above example this file
would be located at /opt/RealPlayer/install.log This file will tell you
everything that the installer did. You can post the contents to the list
if you like, and maybe we can see if it might have overwritten anything.
However, the problem may not be the fault of the RealPlayer installer.
It is possible that mozilla and netscape are having problems with the
RealPlayer plugin, or something else entirely. To find out, open up a
terminal and type:
netscape
or
mozilla
If the program crashes, it should give you an error on the terminal,
this will help you determine what the problem is. You might want to post
this message to the list as well, if you cannot figure it out.

2. As I understand it, you tried to reinstall Mozilla using synaptic,
but the program froze somewhere along the way. If synaptic is not
responding, you can kill it with the command:
killall synaptic
or by running the program xkill and clicking on the synaptic window.
After that it is probably a good idea to try to uninstall and then
reinstall mozilla. This can be done with the following commands:
dpkg -r mozilla
apt-get install mozilla
After this, you should be able to type:
which mozilla
and see mozilla in your path. You may also want to make sure that no
older versions of mozilla are running by typing:
killall mozilla-bin
After this, type:
mozilla
into a terminal. It will either work properly or give you an error
message. The reason you were seeing the command not found error earlier
is probably because synaptic had deleted mozilla, but had crashed before
reinstalling it.

I hope this helps,

Jesse
