My browswer Konqueror doesnt do much It is a very powerful browser albeit a bit different than internet explorer. I would recommend that you use firefox right now. If you do not have it installed, you should install it using yast.
Gmail doesnt work with it This is a known problem. Gmail doesn't work well with konqueror. I would recommend using firefox as your main browser if you are familiar with Windows Internet Explorer.
Yahoo all screwed up I presume you mean www.yahoo.com webpage in konqueror.. again try firefox.

You should try using kmail or evolution or thunderbird. These are all more than adequate replacements for Outlook Express. Try launching kmail and then say Help->Kmail handbook. It has got a very good "Getting started" section. If you have setup your smtp/pop3 with Outlook Express - the process is similar.
Stuff like that
What version you're using of SuSe
I am using 9.1.. If you have 9.2, you should be good. Osho

RealPlayer installs the plugins for Mozilla, so you need to create them in the Firefox plugin directory.

Why not just download it again as RPM it is available from Real and install it via Yast I did today and everything works fine

On my 9.0 Pro system the path is /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins for the .so file/link and /opt/mozilla/lib/components for the .xpt file/link. (I landed the actual files in these directories instead of keeping the links. It works fine here, but YMMV, of course.

Hey Group;
SuSE puts all plugins in "/usr/lib/browser-plugins" and then makes a link from the /browser/plugin directory. Like a link "/opt/mozilla/plugins/mozplugger.so
So! ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/mozplugger.so (put all of this on one line) /opt/mozilla/plugins/mozplugger.so
I think you meant /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins
Get "plugger" at "http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html" and much more
I loved plugger and enjoyed a great e-mail exchange on installation tips with it's author, Frederik Hubbe. Note: mozplugger is a forked derivative from his original plugger that is now being maintained by someone else. You should try one or the other, but not both at the same time. They conflict with each other because they're both trying to provide the same functionality. After spending an entire week switching between all of the multimedia programs and plug-ins I could locate for this 9.0 Pro system, I decided against keeping either plugger or mozplugger installed. Too much overlap in file type handling was causing frequent contention between them and the underlying players. I solved these conflicts by keeping the combination of MPlayer, mplayerplug-in (v. 2.70 compiled by myself to support GTK1,) the stock Kaffeine plus all of xine and the associated libraries and codecs from http://packman.links2linux.com/ and RealPlayer 10. I've installed all of the codecs, including the Win32 versions, in /usr/lib/codecs and pointed all the programs that use them to look for them there. Now, everything is working as it should. I can view all on-line multimedia content from within Mozilla (1.6) except for live streams (rtsp & mms) served from masked locations -- where the web pages call them up using intermediary (usually javascript) routines. Example: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program.html To access content served in this manner using my current configuration, I have to use Konqueror -- which correctly identifies and captures the streams being handed off and launches them in the appropriate standalone applications. One final note: I don't know if Firefox is the same, but in Mozilla (1.6), it was necessary to open about:config (using the address bar) to register Real Player and Windows Media Player streaming content, as follows: Preference Name: network.protocol-handler.app.mms Status: user set Type: string Value: /usr/bin/gmplayer Preference Name: network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp Status: user set Type: string Value: /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay OK, sorry for the long-winded post. But I had a devil of a time getting everything working the way I wanted it here, and the installations you were addressing seemed quite similar, so I thought I'd jump in. Take care! - Carl

Hi David, Thanks for the feedback. I tried again with new results. It might have been the server side last time. RealPlayer works great... opens the child frame, controls appear, it buffers then plays. Ditto in Konqueror. mplayerplug-in, however, displays the file name (/eu.mov) in the usual place, it starts buffering too fast, the progress bar freezes at 80% and the controls never appear. It might be they've used a new Quicktime codec. This is the same thing that happens on some, not all, content at Apple's website. BTW, I've been very happy with Mozilla, but it does seem to get a bit sluggish sometimes. I don't use the calendar or mail options and had thought about trying Firefox. Is it's performance really a big enough improvement to warrant installing and trying it out for a while? cheers, - Carl

Easily done! If you haven't changed any of Firefox's settings (and that's what you used to download RealPlayer), it'll probably be in "My Downloads" in your home folder. It's a good idea to have one folder for downloads, then they don't get lost.

Install findutils-locate, it sets up cron to run updatedb daily or you could run updatedb from the command line, eats up resources till it's finished, then do something like "locate -i gold", quicker than using find. This is one package that should be installed by default for the grief it saves in finding where you put that stuff. Sun will no doubt steal it for Solaris 10 and boast about this all new superfast find thingy that sets Sol10 apart from the crowd. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
