Marcia,
Download the Unix/Linux .bin version of RealPlayer from www.real.com.
While logged in as root, type in: chmod u+x *.bin
Press the [enter] key
Then type in: ./rp8
Press the [enter] key
I installed it to /usr/local/RealPlayer8
For Netscape:
Check my posting from 1 - 2 weeks ago for the manual instructions on
adding the MIME entries.
It works.
Good luck!
