Can somebody tell me the right apt-get command to get the plug in for Real Player installed in Mozilla (1.4). Or give me hand doing it a different way. Appreciate any help !!! Tks, -emmett

search google for

RealPlayer8-plugin-8.0.3.412-6.i386.rpm

save it to a file somewhere

open console terminal cd to wherever you put it

su to root

type in
# rpm -ivh RealPlayer8-plugin-8.0.3.412-6.i386.rpm

this will result in a file

rpnp.so in the current directory

cp this into your plugins directory for mozilla

you ar done

all that leaves for me to do is acrobat reader ...but will worry that tomorrow .....i had been struggling trying to use apt for real player and couldn't quite get it to work for the plug in ..... rpm install worked just fine ..... i am getting a tad spoiled with apt and seem to not use rpm or the up2date much at all anymore. so using rpm was a gentle reminder to me not to be so hung up on only one solution......TKS

well thats great

tommorow open mozilla
click on the HELP on the toolbar
then the About Plugins
if you have Plugger installed
youve got XPDF
Rh version of Adobe

if not look at the top of the page

plugindoc.mozdev.org.

theyve got every plugin mozilla will take

good luck
