Hi Garry, Have you looked under /usr/lib/browser-plugins? This is the SUSE default plug-ins directory, so when I install a piece of software that has been packaged for SUSE, either by SUSE or by another 'third party' packager like Packman or Guru: a. if the package suppies a plug-in, it is 'landed' or is symlinked into that directory, or b. if it uses plug-ins, it 'looks' in that directory to see what plug-ins are available. So, did you install the 'stock' SUSE OOo package? Thanks! Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
