I've had a bit of a frustrating time trying to get realplayer to work (without installing it every time I re-boot my machine). So I tried the above tip (the symbolic links version), as user not root. I replaced the "/home/root"s with "/home/knoppix"s, and tried it out. However, I got permission denied errors for creating the directories and the links. Any tips as to what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,

Rob.
