Re: Realplayer

[Bob Nielsen <nielsen@oz.net>]

In order to get realplayer to install the new version, I edited
/var/lib/dpkg/info/realplayer.postinst (also realplayer.prerm) to
change references from /usr/lib/RealPlayer7 to /usr/lib/RealPlayer8.  I
~/.also edited mailcap in the same way so that netscape would use it. 
Works fine.
