surely, I'm missing something here. I've spent quite a bit of time over two days looking in the archives, but still haven't a clue.
I've downloaded and installed the realplayer package, which apparently debianizes and then installs the rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm file previously downloaded from real.com however, when i open the "about plugins" in netscape navigator, it shows the rpm extension as being the only ones associated with the plug in. i have added the following to the helper applications: description: real player MIMEType: audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin Suffixes: ra,ram checked the box to make this default and checked the rpnp.so plug in. real audio works as a stand alone from my box, but not as a helper app. this is a woody box with kernel 2.2.19 installed. any ideas? tia bob
