YouTube videos should work flawlessly, and this is well-known. :-) If you have that problem, please report if YouTube works as expected in www/kazehakase (to rule out the plugin/wrapper problem in your installation). > Even my favourite flash7-crasher www.davehum.com works correctly with > a feeble *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING: unhandled variable 11 in > NPP_GetValue() in the console window now and again. This is a harmless warning message and a known issue in current nspluginwrapper version. Just ignore it. > However, I gave up on getting Java working in Linux-Firefox.

Try linux-opera with linux-blackdown-jdk-1.4; it just works (no additional ports needed -- just as Norberto has already said for linux-firefox). Nikola Le=C4=8Di=C4=87
