Dear friends: It turns out that there is no problem except confusion about the RealPlayer name. I tried every combination of rpm -q I could think of based on the file name "rp7_linux20_libc6_i386_b2.rpm" which was in my /bs/rpm storage directory. No wonder it didn't work. I just now did an "rpm -qa" and got the list of all the rpms and there it was: RealPlayer. See below: [sher@adsl-77-232-22 rpm]$ rpm -q RealPlayer RealPlayer-7.0-4 [sher@adsl-77-232-22 rpm]$ Glad to know there is no need to fix anything. Thanks so much. My thanks to Jose Sanchez for pointing this out to me. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher (SRW) http://www.websher.net (SSI) http://www.shakespeareindex.net Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
