Only because F10 self destructed in a directory that I didn't know was not
in my amanda/disklist.  It is now obviously.

As a general comment on adobe( with no real desire to discuss the matter) they recently released a flash plugin for MacOSX rife with security issues. 
I would think long and hard before installing any of their crappy code on my box. The sooner adobe disappears the better, just consider that MacOS X is much more mainstream than Linux, so if they screw Apple users that badly, just think how low on their list GNU/Linux users are....I mention it because I have seen many, many people complaining that flash doesn't work for them. Adobe seems to have very little regard for the users of its flash plugin and its a good bet the rest of their "software" is equally atrocious, from a security standpoint, they appear to be as sloppy a bunch as I have ever seen.
