Well, I hope I didn't break the ng rules or rub anybody the wrong way by
helping bw; I appologize if that's so... I still hope that helped somebody.

Not at all! You didn't post a stupid question, but a good answer.

Top-posting shitheads earn a special spot in my killfile.

Tough shit. It's what you got. You posted a question to usenet and act
as if you deserve an answer. You begged for a hand-out and then bitched
about what you got. Don't you think that's a little fucked up?

No one asked if you agreed or not.

That's Volkerding. And yes, you should, if all other slackware
resources are exhauted (Pat is only one person after all), but Real
Player has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Slackware. Posting
is here is off-topic. You were pointed to a place that the discussion
would be topical. And you bitched. Doesn't that make you feel like a
big man?

Well, yes, you should. I wouldn't go asking about a D-Link router in a
group composed of Cisco techs no more than I would a group of plumbers
or Slackers. Is that so hard to understand?

If you can't post to usenet without getting your pantied in a wad,
don't post to Usenet.

He's evidently not stupid enough to go try to get help from the people from
whom he's stolen the software.

Since when does anybody have to steal realplayer for linux? I
think that *really* stupid applies to trolls like yourself, as
well.

cordially, even to trolls,

well, my 2 lipas...
bw overreacted and expected this group to be paid service support or
sumfin'
but the thing is, stupid answers couse much more newsgroup noise. if keith
didn't post that stupid answer, there'd be 10 useless posts less in this
thread.
just stop posting stupid answers (even if the question is stupid). and
stupid answers include: rtfm, google, links to ng faq, that site with "how
to ask smart questions". just DONT ANSWER!!!

The answer as it goes on my machine is as follows: control center -> KDE
components-> File-associations. Then change the order and Firefox
shouldn't be an issue. Mine has mozilla and netscape for the html in that
order.

That should do it one way.

As to the realplayer thing. Not sure what the other posters are talking
about because I downloaded real player from their website, and then
installed it.

You are certainly welcome to believe that advising someone that
the creators of software are the folks most likely to have an
answer is a stupid answer.

You made your point. Now, as usual, you're just trolling.
