Sure appreciate your help, Mike! I really love the thought of linux replacing M$ but in several years across Debian, Stormix, Progeny, Peanut, Mandrake, SuSE and now Red Hat have yet to experience a complete solution ready for non-geek prime time. We persevere knowing that the solution is just ahead! ;-) I ran: rpm -qp rp8.linux20.libc6.i386.cs2.rpm Was told it was not installed. So I ran: rpm -Uvh rp8.linux20.libc6.i386.cs2.rpm again Was told RealPlayer-8.0-1 was already installed. So I ran: rpm -ql RealPlayer-8.0-1 Received a list of well over a hundred files, most of them in /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/Codecs or /Help or /Plugins and some others in . /usr/share/mimelnk ... What next, please? The geek in me is unwilling to give up.
