I've got the macromedia flash plugin working, but there's a realplayer
plugin for linux netscape?  Cool, how do you get the realplayer package to
work as a plugin?  When I did pkg_add
linux-flashplugin-4.0.r12.tgzlinux-flashplugin-4.0.r12.tgz  after getting
it from the macromedia site it worked but I think I had to move something
into the plugins dir.  Is the realplayer plugin the same?

	I just saw the plugger-3.2 package on the ports page of the
website after searching for netscape.  It wants netscape-navigator-4.76
not the linux version.  Its description says:

Plugger is a multimedia plugin for Unix Netscape 3.0 or later that
handles Quicktime, MPEG, MP2, AVI, SGI-movie, Tiff, DL, IFF-anim,
MIDI, Soundtracker, AU, WAV and Commodore 64 audio files. And now,
with Plugger 3.0, MPEG audio and video can be played streaming.

Plugger is a very small plugin, because plugger uses external programs
to show/play the different formats.


I think I may just switch to the  netscape-navigator-4.76 version since
there is flashplugin-0.4.3 to run flash and I could perhaps do quicktime
with plugger and xmovie.
	But both packages will create the binary netscape.  I don't
want to trounce my linux netscape.  Has anybody gotten both the linux
netscape and freebsd netscape (netscape-navigator-4.76) working together?
Tips on how?

						Thanks
