Hi,

We had a case at OLC today where someone was trying to use the
RealPlayer plugin on Linux, and it wasn't working.  He kept getting the
"Here's how to get this plugin" message from netscape.  

I tried this with paco's account, doing the following:

rm .mailcap
rm .mime.types
rm -rf .netscape
add -f infoagents
netscpae &

and, sure enough, RealPlayer does not show up in the plugins list.
This was a phone conversation, so there's no discuss meeting, however
there was discussion on -c consult from about 5:30PM-5:45PM on 11/30.

Cheers, 

Jon
