Have you all tried gnash yet? I tried it a few times over the last few years. Every install attempt was a major #FAIL. Can't remember what went wrong with libflashplayer.so (again) this past week, but I ended up trying to install (again) out of both exasperation and contempt for Linux being left behind these days... This time.... IT WORKS! Well, not at first. I attempted lightspark but for some reason that didn't go well. Perhaps the "experimental" labeling has something to do with that there.. *grin* I noticed gnash was installed as a lightspark dependency so, after having problems with lightspark, I backed up and just focused on seeing if I couldn't finally get gnash operational. Took a tiny bit of manual file manipulation to get my browser to recognize its existence. As of this second, it's working in both Opera and chromium-browser. Between that and stumbling on the minor detail that all you do to get cracking on a debootstrap'd release is chroot the target path to get chroot... you know... (also) working, it's been quite the learning curve week. *Look out!* Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with sporks * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
