Dear friends: A list member just suggested that one way to install the new RealPlayer 8 (which requires the new "rpm" which LM72 does not have and which results in a "for different architecture" error message) is to type the following command: rpm -Uvh --ignorearch RealPlayer8.xxx.rpm I tried to install RealPlayer 8 some time ago and ruined my installation. When I reinstalled Linux, I reinstalled my RealPlayer7, which I had made a copy of. 1) In your professional opinion, will this command break anything in LM72? Is it really safe for RealPlayer8? 2) Is this command valid for ALL rpm packages that use the new rpm not yet available in LM72? If it is safe in installing Real8, would it be safe to assume that it would be equally safe to install other applications that use the new rpm v. 4? What's your experience been? This is really a question for the experts. Thank you so much. -- Sher's Russian web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
