Didier, Sorry, I could not find a password for the file. Also, it is only one of the 7 lectures in the series, and I could not find the others except on payware sites, and there is no way to tell the quality until after you have paid and downloaded them. The only place they are all available is on the Microsoft site http://research.microsoft.com/apps/tools/tuva/index.html You have to install Silverlight. I tried installing it in WINE, but it wouldn't install. It appears the best alternative is to run WinXP in VirtualBox. It is free, but don't use the OSE version in Synaptic if you are running Ubuntu. Get the PUEL version directly from SUN. I tried the latest version 3.x but it has bugs. I recommend using the previous version 2.2.4 available here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds Unplug the LAN cable when installing XP to prevent it from automatically updating files. I found it wrecks the installation, and I turn automatic updates off as soon as I get the chance. When you have XP running, share the entire Linux desktop folder so you can easily transfer any files. As I mentioned in a previous post, do not use the snapshot feature. It will get corrupted and you will lose the entire installation. Instead, for backups, copy the entire .Virtualbox folder to another backup folder. I use .VB01, .VB02, etc. Now you can revert to any previous installation any time you want. The Feynman lectures are extremely good. It is really worth the time and effort it takes to view them.
