You're right, it (my reply) should have been take offlist. Granted I
only got about two hours of sleep (if that) after an all nighter trying
to create a bartpe bootcd, and downloading and installing 65 updates
10.2, and trying to figure out to install a simple program, still no
excuse. So I do apologize for my (latest) outburst. 

Why are there so many different installation technics? rpm, .run, tar.gz,
.bin. I mean right there on the website it tells you how to do it,
followed the commands exactly, and it (shell program) says that the
file/directory doesn't exist. Maybe (probably) I'm missing something
here.  if the program is  "install-realplayer10gold.bin" for instance,
The file is in /home/(username), I'm in the directory /home/(username),
do a dir and the file is there, I issue the command(s) that is/are
listed on the website for this program, what else am I suppose to be
doing? I su'd because that is required to install a program. hmmm?


Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.
