Nothing streaming. xmms does a better job of decoding mp3s. there is an app called mplayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/ that will play almost all .asf .wmv files (among other things) > > Configuring java with Konqeror is no joy and even when it is finished I find > > that the blank gray boxes that should be applets or .jsps are a common > > problem with Sun's java.

Install the JDK RPM of your choice and symlink the plugin into $MOZILLA_HOME/plugins/ make sure you symlink the one from the $JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns600 directory if you're using newer mozilla or netscape6 *shudder* As far as realplayer goes, if you dislike the realplayer version for linux you might try using the crossover plugin from codeweavers.com and installing the doze version under that. I've never tried it, but if it runs as well as the quicktime plugin does, it'd be worth the 20.00. If you think these things are bad today, you should have tried to do this stuff under linux 5 years ago. Before SDL, DRI, and X4..... -- Ben Lutgens Sistina Software Inc.
