I have to agree with Andreas Vetter. Firefox/java/flash should simply work, without manual intervention, on any gui installation (even x86_64). In my opinion, the decision to go with only OSS solutions - even though they don't work right - is likely to push end-users toward other distributions. Please pardon me for slipping off-topic for a minute, but I'm surprised that so many things still aren't working at this stage in the release. For example, I'm still fighting with these issues: nvidia 6800 video artifacts require frequent X restarts USB flash drives only mount for root alt-F2 commands for yast and sax2 bring up my router's web page kdetv fails even though the tuner was found during installation Whenever I install a new alpha/beta of openSUSE, it takes a couple days to get some of my favorite applications working again. Part of this time is spent removing the openSUSE versions of some applications so that I can install versions that aren't crippled (codecs and torrents). We can't expect to lure anyone away from other operating systems and distributions with a broken web browser experience and multimedia experience. ....Gregg Nicholas p.s. I've been manually installing kpodder and Miro since I haven't found a repository that includes them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
