I'm new to Mandrake and just setup a 9.2rc1 install. I put my /home on it's own partition so if things go bad, I won't lose stuff. I tried out Mozilla because I'm used to Netscape 7.1 (same, I know) I then installed Netscape 7.1 to get access to my IMAP webmail account. Now I wanted to add Flash support so I did a little digging and found out that I needed to install the Flash 6 plugin. So I downloaded it and ran the 'flashplayer-installer' script. It put the following files in /home/olias/.netscape/plugins/ as well as the /usr/local/netscape/plugins/ directory...
- flashplayer.xpt
- libflashplayer.so
... but "Help --> About Plugins" shows that it's not there???
When I ran the 'flashplayer-installer' script it said something about haveing the administrator remove the xpti.dat file from the Netscape components directory. So that's what I did and still no flash.
I must be missing something really easy right? Surely it can't be this difficult to install a browser plugin... can it?
Thanks for any help, Olias
