Roger: Here's what I ended up doing: 1. Installed the Flash rpm from the Commercial Apps disk. 2. Downloaded kdebase-nsplugins-2.2.2-93mdk.i586.rpm from www.rpmfind.net, and installed it. (It seems that this file may be on one of the PowerPack CD's, but somehow Software Manager isn't aware of it. It's not a very big download (roughly 700K or so.) 3. Ran nspluginscan from the command line. 4. Rebooted KDE. Voila! The Netscape Plugins option showed up in the Konqueror configuration menu. 5. Called Will (two-year-old grandson, and the prime mover behind this project), and we watched Tebo slide down Clifford's back. Much joy. One thing: When I ran nspluginscan, a lot of messages flew by, and some of them didn't seem too friendly, but it worked. I suppose I should look in the logs. -- cmg
