I have downloaded Real Player from the Web, it has arrived as a .bin file- can anyone help me through the installation process. At the moment I am getting nowhere !!
Don't bother.. install realplayer using the synaptic installer, or apt-get it. Otherwise you will have a nightmare of putting the bin file in /usr/bin (or somewhere similar), changing it's permissions and then linking it to all kinds of places. Not worth the effort when it is in the repositories. ;)
If you're installing as yourself, it's going into your /home/you/app
If you're root, you can install it to /opt so all users can use the proggy. 'Course, this is Linux, you can tell the proggy to install it on your nipple if you want. ;)
