As far as I know, that isn't possible. Maybe if you use Mozilla Firefox under Linux emulation (which I have tried, but failed). Since Flash Player is a Linux binary, you must use it with another Linux binary. That's why you should use Opera. Greetings On 3/21/06, Roy Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr

exit and eject should have their second letter in upper-case in cdio(1) help output

Since E is an "ambiguous command", one must use either type EJ or EX to eject a cd or otherwise exit cdio, but both have an E shorcut. That's why these two lines must be changed: { CMD_EJECT, "eject", 1, "" } to: { CMD_EJECT, "eject", 2, "" }, { CMD_QUIT, "exit", 1, "" }, to: { CMD_QUIT, "exit",
