It was available via urpmi. Go to Preferences/General/Connection, set 'manual proxy..', enter 127.0.0.1 in HTTP Proxy and 8118 in the corresponding Port. This is the default port for privoxy, and will work if you have not changed it. FF will then go through privoxy for web surfing. As a test, go to ebay, and you should see some doubleclick ads blocked [there will be a note on the screen for each one.] Only the most obnoxious sites will set cookies in secure mode, but it may still be an issue, and will require using a proxy for other than HTTP. Depends on where you go and how paranoid you are. :-) -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
