Thanks, Craig,
Actually, in the interim, before receiving this message, I have gotten up2date to run.
I was able to rpm real player 8 and yahoo messenger, as well as the xmms plug in for
mp3 support. I still can't install my printer driver or java runtime support. Can't
edit /etc/fstab.
AND, since installing the xmms plugin, now I can't play ANY files, (b4 I could at
elast play .wav and .ogg files). Now I keep getting a message that indicates there is
another porcess using the soundcard (or that it is not set up properly--I checked the
configuration and it is properly configured). Oddly, I get no sound from the
cdplayer, either...hmmm...nah, that couldn't still be running, I rebooted.
The Yahoo messenger is now working fine, accept that I inadvertently told it to run
on start up and can't figure out wehre to change that (I just close it). I can't find
the realplayer anywhere, but when I try to install from the rpm again, the machine
assures me that it is installed. I looked in /usr/bin /usr/share /usr/local, /sbin/*
etc, etc, etc...nothing.
I also have not been able to run /sbin/rhn_register (still get a :no such file or
directory message).
So, it seems one thing was fixed and others broken...
