My only need here in France is to hear the BBC listen again service. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Because of problems with Windows, I did a clean install (wrote zeros to the disc and then started again)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I installed Ubuntu and went to the BBC home page selected a programme and pressed play. A flash came up, you need plugins to play this file- do you wish to install them? I clicked yes and it gave me a choice of Xine or Mozilla. I have tried Xine before and knew that it did not work, so clicked the Mozilla. The plugins installed and now the BBC streams works fine and without the stand alone player bar being utilized.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I never bother with Real player, there are so many dead links and redirection to a unix sites and installation problems.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope this helps someone,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
