I tried installing flash but here's what I get. "The current linux-f8-flashplugin10 spews out: ===> linux-flashplugin-10.0r22 bsd.linux-apps.mk test failed: The component nss is not defined for LINUX_DIST_SUFFIX= (the corresponding variable nss_FILE is not defined). *** Error code 1" linux_base-fc-4-14 was installed as a dependency by some other program. What happens if I remofe it? -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@ptahhotep.com http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php
