I don't know what you mean by this (see below). | that used java and flash and let galeon install the plugins. The problem | is that galeon keeps asking for java plugin even if it is installed. I don't have a java plugin installed, but I do have the flash plugin installed. When I went to a flash site I got that puzzle-piece icon. Clicking on it prompted me to install the plugin. I said "ok" and was redirected to Macromedia's download page. Then I clicked on the "Download Now" button and save the linux_flash.tar.gz file to my downloads directory (I have a directory ~/downloads where I download stuff to, then move it where I really want it). I untarred it and as root copied libflashplayer.so to /usr/share/mozilla/plugins (or whatever the full path is, I'm not at a debian box right now). Restart galeon and the plugin will be loaded. If you go to "about:plugins" then you will see a list of all the registered plugins. | -- | «Don't use C; In my opinion, C is a library programming language | not an app programming language.» - Owen Taylor (GTK+ developer) Nice quote.
