Tom: How did you convince Konqueror that Flash was available? I didn't have any problems installing Flash in Mandrake 8.1. Perhaps that's because 8.1 installed Netscape 4.x as part of the default installation, so that the necessary file structure was present when Flash was installed. In 8.2, however, Netscape is _not_ installed unless it is explicitly specified (which I didn't do). Konqueror seems to want the necessary Flash references installed in /netscape/plugins. And, if you don't go through the kdebase-nsplugins installation and then run nspluginscan, there isn't any way to tell Konqueror to look for Flash -- at least from the GUI side. -- cmg
