I still relied on getting the stuff on my own instead of using the non-oss repo! Ha!<br /><br />woro, are you able to share more on the "reason" why we do not install flash into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins? Security reasons? I'm interested to learn. Thanks.<br /><br />I'll put an update in RED to this entry and point others to look at the comments.<br /><br />Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. :) Cheers!Hanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979804434768041826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613455571367806369.post-24912512907136220722009-11-23T16:28:05.729+08:002009-11-23T16:28:05.729+08:00Yes I agree with woro.

This howto is quite confusing for users as Flash in openSUSE 11.2 just works if you just install the package flash-player from the non-oss repository which is also preselected after an installation.<br />There is a reason why we do not install Flash into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099680467477536400noreply@blogger.com
