This means, that I could run this "plugin" also with the nativ netscape (4.08) which works much better (helas, it works) than the linux-netscape 4.7 ? I am not shure if this plugin is needed anyway, what it is good for, if I couldnt run realplayer with some tweeking of the netscape preferences. Best wishes from Bonn. Heiko I wouldnt ask those stupid "realplayer" questions if it werent a way to learn, discuss some general interesting newbie stuff ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
