<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I appreciate the help that some of you are
trying to offer. My problem is that I am not technical at all and for the most
part do not understand what you are telling me, including the advice from
Jason. I have been able to load on to the XO Opera but I am only able to get it
to launch from the terminal. I have not been able to get JAVA, Flash or a media
player on the XO, despite spending hours looking at the wiki, reading posts in
the help and support groups, etc. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Again, anyone that has some specific line
by line instructions on how to add JAVA, Flash, a media player and getting
Opera into the main menu – it would be greatly appreciated by me. I was
also serious in offering to pay someone to do this for me if someone has the
time available. I also read about a “batch script” on some sites.
Is this something that someone sets up and by accessing it all of the correct
files will download and install correctly? If so, maybe I can get someone to
help me in this way. </span></font></p>

both *nix media players that can handle mpeg4 files. I'm not sure how you
could go about getting them for the XO, but they are both command line
