Hey people,

Just downloaded the full release of Linux NS6, and it seems to work
reasonably
well.  However, I cannot get plugins working...  I downloaded FlashPlayer
and 
a Java thing, put them in the netscape6/plugins directory (under
/usr/compat/
linux/usr/local/), but they don't get picked up upon restart.  I have also
tried
making symlinks to the Flashplayer installed under Linux NS 4.73, but no go,
and I have also tried symlinks at various other locations - all to no avail.

All I get from about:plugins is the default.  Each time I go to a java-based
or
Flash-based site, I am prompted (again) to download and install...

Anyone managed to get plugins working?  I have had a look through the list
archives, and the NS 6 release notes, but can't find anything that helps...

Dan Bye
