Ahh, there you go. The *real* RPM package was originally named: RealPlayer-8.0-1.i386.rpm They renamed it (for whatever reason) to rp8.linux20.libc6.i386.cs2.rpm >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?
