Plugger was pretty average, although I did only use it for a few avi's and mpeg's then got rid of it. I use IceWM now... Its lightweight and functional, its the best I have tried so far. I also use mozilla with flash and java, which is okay but sometimes wont let me check my yahoo mail and wont allow me to login to some sites (which say I dont have java/cookies enabled (?)). I havent bothered with sound yet... There are too many other cool FreeeBSD things to keep me occupied! Fred ===== worry is a missuse of imagination http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
