    Hiya tictoc

    I was able to get to the 3rd step you mentioned. sudo apt-get install realplay. Once I typed that in the terminal, everything seemed to be processing correctly but then I got the messege " WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

    realplay

    Install these packages without verification [y/N]?

    Media change: please insert the disc labeled

    'Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)'

    in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter

    My brother is in the military and when he deployed, he didn't leave and type of CD's with me. Where do I go from here?

    I've got the password from him as well. But I find that when I log into a terminal I get the $ sign and not the #.

    easy way:

    open a terminal and do this:

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

    paste this at the bottom of the text file:

    deb ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/ubuntu/plf breezy free non-free

    save and close.

    in the terminal again do:

    sudo apt-get update

    then

    sudo apt-get install realplay

    This will (should) install realplayer with all firefox plugins

    Hope it helps ;)

    I've typed sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list in my terminal but where do I find the text file? I'm getting there slowly but surely. But do I need permissions for this?

    Ok thank you. I'll give it a shot and see what happends. I'm using Firefox if that's what you mean. I'm so new at this I'm still trying to figure out what everything is. And I'm using Mozilla 2.6 I know it's rather old but the system was given to me by my brother and there's a lot of stuff on here. Once I get the hang of things maybe you could assist me in updating this too!

    Hello everyone I'm a true newbie to the Linux community and I was wondering why is it that when I downloaded my RealPlayer10GOLD file and it appeared on the desktop as its suppose to, I double click on the icon and I get the error messege "Can't Display Location" Couldn't display "/home/nieko03/Desktop/RealPlayer10GOLD-1.bin".? What am I doing wrong here? I really like the Linux set up but I'm just a little confused :(
