I has been my experience that you have to use the Linux version of Netscape in-order to use Linux pluggins. If you try them with the native FreeBSD ver of Netscape it whines about an unknown ELF binary or some such thing. I believe that you can install all pieces as if you were running it on Linux. I did have a bit of a fight with the Rvplayer though. Regards, Frank To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
