Derek, Subject #2 1. Log in as root 2. Navigate to www.real.com and download the Unix .bin version of Realplayer8 3. After downloading it, open a console and type in: chmod 777 rp8_xxx_xxx_cs1.bin Press the [enter] key 4. Type in: ./rp8_xxx_xxx_cs1.bin Press the [enter] key 5. I usually let it install to /usr/local/Realplayer8 The .bin version will not ask you for a CD. They also include additional icons etc..

Re: [newbie] Just wondering a few points!
Why don't you sign up for Yahoo pop service it is free and works good, a little slow but you can use any mail client that can use POP. I used the RP8.bin file. Follow the directions to install it on the real site. The RPM one won't work with Mandrake 8 only Redhat The scanner, I don't have one so not sure about that Jeanette Derek Rayne wrote: Hi there, I am wondering a few things...

I cannot answer your question, but I quoted back the entire section in hopes that someone on the list will read it and be able to help. It might be helpful if you mention the make and model of your USB scanner; mine is a Visioneer model (bought while I was still using Windows occasionally) and AFAIK none of that company's scanners are supported under Linux.

I still miss a few of my Windows applications, but not enough that i'll reinstall Windows and put up with the Blue Screen Of Death; OTOH, I like Linux enough that I'm considering abandoning my current scanner and buying one that will work under my preferred OS. -- Walter Luffman, [EMAIL PROTECTED]Medina, TN USA Supercharged with extra glucose!
