[lug] suse & realplayer

[Ferdinand Schmid]

I downloaded my real player from real's site in rpm form.  rpm -ivh
rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1_rpm did the trick.  Since I now have high
speed Internet access at home I occasionally enjoy watching tv or
listening to far away radio stations using the real player.
