Hi Mike, The easiest and most stable way is to use nspluginwrapper, but I don't know about its standing in lenny (I only push to unstable at the moment, and the package is migrated automatically back into testing once it has settled in unstable for a while). Checking http://packages.debian.org/testing/utils/: nspluginwrapper (0.9.91.5-2) [contrib] A wrapper to run Netscape plugins on other architectures However, on http://packages.debian.org/testing/web/ there is no flashplugin-nonfree. Which means what whilst nspluginwrapper is there, you have two choices: Install the plugin by hand or import the package from unstable (should be fairly simple). I recommend the former. My advice would be to go: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz Download and unpack it somewhere. Personally, in my environment, I then: (run this as your normal user) mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins32 ~/.mozilla/plugins cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins32/ nspluginwrapper -v -i $HOME/.mozilla/plugins32/libflashplayer.so This should install the runtime loader stub. Restart your browser and go to "about:plugins" and you should see something like: Shockwave Flash File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 10.0 b218 (or your installed version number) MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes Somewhere in the list. You should be good to go now. -- rob andrews :: pgp 0xd6c3e484 :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
