I'm afraid that I am a little lost here.
I have had a few problems configuring ports on previous installations,
but I hagve always managed to ge them done. Usually, with a little help
to find my own silly little mistakes like typos and just not paying
attention.
But up to now, I have never been able to install Flash on any previous
distributions.
Anyway, I now have flash installed... it does not work.
I have also acroread9 installed... it does not want to work... it loads
up, the panel comes up and last about 1-2 seconds and dies.
That's nice. I went to the trouble to install it and it doesn't work.
Any suggestions what to do, look for, or whatever befor I trash all this
stuff and go back to MicroSlop.
Thanks again...I've had enough for today... gotta get some sleep. It's
been a miserable week installing and reinstalling 7.2 on amd64... and I
was just beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel... :'(
