I read the other messages on this thread this morning. I also installed Flash via the tarball, simply copying (as root) the files into the above directory. It's really that easy. Each time Mozilla launches, it reads from this directory to find out what plugins are installed. So anything put in that directory is considered a plugin. The two files on my system are: libflashplayer.so ShockwaveFlash.class Both of them were in the tarball, along with a readme telling where to copy them. -- Dave Sherman MCSE, MCSA, CCNA "If we wanted you to understand it, we wouldn't call it code."
