So, I decided to download and install Real Player.
I navigate to the site, find the file, download it, and with my
fershenglugger frissshin frashin YDL book in my lap, I fire up the
terminal, cd to the correct dirctory, type:
chmod +x rp8_linux_powerpc_cs1.bin and hit the enter key.
then I type the next line of the command:
/rp8_linux_powerpc_cs.bin and hit the enter key.
No such file or directory.
I want to cry. This is the only place in the book that actually tells
about how to install software and it's not working! ARRRRGHHHHH! I
have no idea what the correct command is. I'm seething with hatred for
the CLI; Darth Katherine is in the house.
Well, maybe, I think, maybe I really didn't put the file in that
directory. I click on my home folder, the directory I made, and, nope,
it's there.
What the hell, I think, and I make with the clicky.
Well, praise Jesus and pass the ammo! A nice GUI installer pops open
and I now have real player running on this machine.
Too funny.
