For users of Netscape 4.x, the following will get you up an running:
Log in as root and download the .bin Unix/Linux Realplayer binary file
from www. real.com
Open a console, and type in chmod u+x
Press the <enter> key
Type in: ./rp8*
Press the <enter> key
This will start up the installation. Proceed with the installation.
You must add several entries for streaming media/video and audio.
Hopefully, in the future real.com will improve their support(I wouldn't
hold my breath) for their Unix/Linux binary and rpms. For now, their
support is extremely poor or nonexistent for a "mega buck" company.
