Hi thanks, ok not sure what to do, I started using the method given in url
with details to follow, I hope however that I haven't posted to the wrong
mailing list I am not sure what you mean by '#debain' sorry, its probably
something obvous, a different mailing list for idiots? On your second point
upgrading, yeah ok no problem, so to be clear is your advice to upgarde to
lenny, and then use the Greasemonkey script[1] rather than flash plug in. PS
thank you for you patience epsecially if I'm in the wrong place. Oh and I'll
copy what I was going to send before I got the second reply below
