Bonnie, That what I needed! I typically use 'Yum extended' for my package management, so have become deficient with the command line. I had the x86_64 adobe repository enabled, but had to tell Yum specifically what I wanted. Thanks again. T. Rosmond On Fri, 2012-11-02 at 15:02 -0500, Bonnie

Thanks for the advice. Removing 'nspluginwrapper' looks like it fixed the problem. The seqfaults seemed to be unique to the Google website, and now Google is working. I assume SL installs the proper plugins as part of Yum updates, so hopefully I have everything I need. T. Rosmond On Thu, 2012
