It looks just like mine. I think I probably forgot to boot with bare.i 
before trying the script. The #!/bin/bash is probably not needed here 
since insmod is not a bash command.  I did not need it for the ess solo 
card, anyway.  Just the four lines to insmod four modules (no v_midi or 
uart401 needed for ess).

I was hoping the 11M of RP would play midis but no such luck, just wavs.
Is there something smaller to play with that does not use sound patches 
just FM synthesis for midis?

Which is smaller and did anyone compile for glibc 2.2.5?
I found mplayer for SW9 and 10 but nothing earlier at linuxpackages and 
did not find it on the SW71 CD - is there a SW71 version around?

Why do you need to download a blasted movie player in order to listen to 
online radio???

Have you tried using Realaudio with links2 instead of Netscape or Opera?
There is something in setup about file extensions.  It might need to be 
done from X not SVGAlib to make Realaudio happy.  I will give it a try.
