Rebooting? You shouldn't have had to do that. At most, you might have needed to restart your window manager and/or menu program. If you were starting Firefox from the shell, you probably just needed to enter `rehash` to get it to recognize changes to what's in the execution path. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Sean Reifschneider: "If java had real garbage-collection, it would delete most programs before it executed them."
