Hate to say I told you so (hey, doesn't hurt to try), but I was talking from personal experience. The flash install program has be written to check for the existence of Netscape. Firefox is similar enough (the chrome directory and all that) that it works. Anywhere else it refuses. They could have just given a warning and an option to proceed, but they don't. The problem is with the flash plugin installer itself. Other plugins may not have the same problem. > Ok, next problem..... I have Sun Java installed, and it works fine with > Firefox.

I haven't tried to run java within konq (in fact I haven't bothered with Java at all on linux, trying to keep things as open as possible). But check the configuration options for Java. Perhaps it's disabled by default. Or maybe there's some option there you have to tweak. > Cheers, > > James -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
