Here's how I do it. I don't use the .netscape dir. d/l and extract
the flash files, libflashplayer.so* and ShockwaveFlash.class to
/home/<user>/.mozilla/plugins. You may need to create a plugins dir if
it doesn't exist. If you have flash in Mozilla, you've already done
something like this. So.....
In Control Center | Web browsing | Plugins, edit the top line to
read $HOME/.mozilla/plugins Click on "Enable plugins globally",
and then click on "Scan for new plugins". I leave "Scan for plugins at
KDE startup" unchecked. Done, go to Google and search 'flash test'.
You can then go to several sites to test your new flash with Konqueror.
If y'all have already installed the flash files in
../.netscape/plugins, omit my edit above, leave the line reading
$HOME/.netscape/plugins on top, then do the rest. I don't know why
Mandrake still configures to use the .netscape dir, since NutScrape
(thankfully) has been gone for a long time now.
