Hi Geoffrey! Sure, I've been running it in different versions for about a year and a half; actually payed $300 for the commercial version at that time, but now I run the basic server. It suits my needs just fine. I agree the install doc is bad, compared to most _free_ softwares. Untar the beast, and there is a setup program that you run with './setup'. It asks a lot of strange questions about where you want the server, passwords and stuff, and fixes a config file for you. I put it in /usr/local/pnserver, and here's my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pnserver.sh script to start it: #!/bin/sh cd /usr/local/pnserver ./bin/pnserver ./server.cfg echo ' RealAudio/Video' Hope this helps! /Palle Geoffrey Robinson wrote: > > Hi, > has anybody tried the Basic (free) RealNetwork server for FreeBSD 2.2.x > from RealAudio?
