On Thu, 15 Feb 2001 Tom Brinkman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent a
mail to this mailinglist with a working (at least for me) mini-HOWTO
to install RealPlayer 8 on Mandrake 7.2 including plugins and mime
handling:
--------------snip--------------------------------------
do an ftp search (http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/?form=medium) for
rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin (5.6mb) That'll return at least
15 links worldwide and you can spare yourself the hassle of going thru
Real's B$ to get it.
As root run ./rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin and it'll take
care of everything including NSplugin's and mime types. Problem is, for
root only. So as user, cd to /usr/local/RealPlayer8 and run
sh mimeinstall.sh && sh pluginstall.sh
If you want Konqueror to use RP8, goto Control Center | Web browsing
| NetScape Plugins | 'Scan for new Plugins', apply. Then re-start
user's X session.
RealPlayer8 should now be on your main menu, and auto used by both
Konqueror and NutScrape when you click on a G2/realplayer link.
-------------------snap-----------------------------------
As I wrote, this worked perfectly for me, the plugin shows in
about:plugins and all the videos and/or audio sites started RP with
the klick on the link.
