It does, and it's probably a better (proper) way of doing things eg. chroot followed by dpkg --instdir (from memory). Alternatively extract, hack, and repackage the .deb. or just build statically linked Properly applied dpkg --divert (?) will probably keep things from breaking > <snipped> >> > > Most probably.

YouTube isn't the be-all and end-all of video... I don't think all YouTube videos are HTML5 yet, but it's the most common reason users cite for needing ffflash. And ffflash is a pain to keep updated. I can force apt-get on them, and easy as Iceweasel makes things - I can't force (l)users to update extensions/plugins. Yeah Gnash works, kind of... kudos to the guy's work too (another Aussie!), but I still dislike ffflash - I can't think of any justification for it.

It just works, and they sure are getting their money's worth for hardware and software (though Pegasus routed through NZ is just strange). Maybe one day IBM will open-source it (OS/2) Cheers -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
