There were two of you who'd written.  One about Helix, and yours.

I tried getting yours, but it said there was programs which interfered with and would have to be removed.  It instructed me 
to go to the Synaptic Package Manager and remove them from there.  I found the install for Ubuntu for the restricted 
programs.  When I clicked to install them, it said that there were certain things that must be removed.  I tried to do that. 
  Then as it was installing, it stopped and gave a thing that it couldn't remove the 'unacceptable' things.  I clicked ok and 
it continued.

However, I just looked in my Synaptic Package Manager and it's supposed to be installed....   but I can't find anything that 
looks like it might be it.  Or does it work through another program?   ...maybe to add more capabilities?

Helix seemed like a single program (Real Player generic for Unix), so after having what appeared an unsuccessful time with 
the restricted packages, I gave it a try and ran into the tarball problem.

I now have two tarballs on my desktop and can't get them installed.

However, I finally got my "Ubuntu Linux for Dummie's" book, so hopefully I'll get through things like this easier in the future.
