    Moonlight / Silverlight installation - How does this work?

    Has anyone gotten Silverlight to work? Don't see this addressed in the forum.

    Background:
    I'm trying to listen to a local radio station that uses Silverlight for their internet stream. (Running Intrepid 64 bit)

    What I've done so far:

    From the Synaptics Package Manager, I installed:
    mono-smcs and associated packages (found with a search for Silverlight)
    I tried to access the radio stream w no luck: "You need Silverlight..."
    I went to this wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianMonoGroup/Moonlight
    and added the repositories:

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/directhex/ubuntu intrepid main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/directhex/ubuntu intrepid main

    Did another search of the repositories for Silverlight or Moonlight, but only came up with the mono-smcs package (like it should as I understand Intrepid has the Moonlight package already)

    I do not see Silverlight or Moonlight in the Applications or System menus. Do I need to run a terminal command of some sort to get this running?

    I also tried adding it as an add-on to Firefox, but I don't see anything listed.

    If anyone has an idea to get this project moving, I'd appreciate hearing it.
    Thanks.

    I just installed the addon through here http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/
    and it works.

    Not that there are too many pages that still uses SL 1.0

    You seem to suck at adding repositories:
    Code:
    jms@destiny:~$ apt-cache search moonlight plugin
    moonlight-plugin-core - Free Software clone of Silverlight 1.0 - plugin core components
    moonlight-plugin-mozilla - Free Software clone of Silverlight 1.0 - Xulrunner 1.9 plugin
    The package is now part of Jaunty.

    Oh, for reference, smcs is a compiler to produce Silverlight 2.0 content
