Well, I have resolved my java issue, I think. I was entering the wrong command! (just smack me) I was entering ./j2re-1_4_1-rc-linux-i586.rpm.bin when I needed to enter sh jr2e-etc-blah-blah.rpm.bin So, that is fixed. Now, my biggest issue is that I can't seem to install the driver for my printer. It is a lexmark z33, and I had it running fine in 7.2. I acquired the driver from Lexmark's site. when I try to run the install (it is a shell script) it locks up. Someone suggestted the issue may be that I installed both CUPS and lpd. So, if that is it, how do I uninstall CUPS? I have another printer, a Compaq IJ1200 (same as lexmark z42) and I have also tried to use that one, but I have never gotten it to work at all, even though the z42 driver is part of the installation. Couldn;t get it to work with RedHat 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3, Corel Linux, Blue Linux or Lycoris either. I had the z33 up and running in 7.2, as I mentioned. Also, the realplayer issue. installed from the rpm available from Real.com. It also worked fine in 7.2, now, however, I can;t find it. I have looked into /usr/bin /usr/share /usr/local, etc, etc. I have done numerous whereis at terminal and don't get a useful reply : root@localhost$ whereis realplayer realplayer I get the same when I type RealPlayer or any other configuration of the name I can think of... As I said, the realplayer is from the rpm from Real's site. I am trying to install it on RedHat 8.0 (why I'm on this list) Please excuse my ignorance, but, I don't have any idea what other settings or versions might be important, so, if there is something else relevant that I have left out, just let me know. That is, if you care to pursue helping a clueless newbie... Seems most of my other issues are resolved, but the printing is pretty crucial. Yeah, that's about it... tony _____________________________________________________________ Select your own custom email address for FREE!
