There's a section titled "Viewing Flash" on the gNewSense wiki about GNU IceCat that has step by step commands: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Documentation/IceCat However, let me tell you a nice trick (which is also documented at that wiki page) which will let you watch Youtube videos with as few system resources possible including the non-free solutions. The reason is you won't be using flash at all which hogs your system down with any player. 1) Enter the following commands into your terminal: sudo apt-get install mozplugger sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozplugger.so /usr/lib/icecat-3*/plugins/ 2) Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 and download/install the greasemonkey add-on. (You may need to restart IceCat for the installation to take effect.) 3) Go to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/38074 and install the script which should also be handled automatically for you. 4) Visit youtube.com and you should be able to watch videos by clicking on them. You'll also see some additional nifty buttons beneath the video section. Beware that this will only work for YouTube. > sorry, i was brought up by windows, i mean winblows It's okay, and in fact mature, to call companies with their real names. Fell free to call it "Microsoft Windows." Ali _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
