I have had a few problems configuring ports on previous installations, but I hagve always managed to ge them done. Usually, with a little help to find my own silly little mistakes like typos and just not paying attention. But up to now, I have never been able to install Flash on any previous distributions. Anyway, I now have flash installed... it does not work. I have also acroread9 installed... it does not want to work... it loads up, the panel comes up and last about 1-2 seconds and dies. That's nice. I went to the trouble to install it and it doesn't work. Any suggestions what to do, look for, or whatever befor I trash all this stuff and go back to MicroSlop. Thanks again...I've had enough for today... gotta get some sleep. It's been a miserable week installing and reinstalling 7.2 on amd64... and I was just beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel... :'(
