Yes and no. Most of the plug-ins are binaries. Though a very-good one from source is the MPlayer plugin. However, I think a mention that folks go to the Moz plugin page (which I think our instructions already have) and there they can find a boatload of plugin possibilities that are probably better described than we could do in BLFS. However, plugins are a good topic for discussion.I was just today reading in an E-Week magazine (a Zif-Davis publication) an article that said all the Extensions created for Firefox needed to be rewritten for the 1.5 version because the extension-manager is different. Many folks need to hold off on a 1.5 update because they rely on extensions not yet available for 1.5. I don't know how this affects the plugins/extension availability. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 17:57:00 up 87 days, 3:21, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.08, 0.19 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
