SuSE version 9.2 pro -- clean install (wiped drive first)
Firefox version 1.0
Package came from firefox website
Installed into home directory from an installer executable
Kaffeine is installed and plays certain formats -- for example .mpgs. However,
other video formats won't play using Kaffeine as I don't have all the proper
codecs installed. For example, .avi files will play the audio only, but no
video. And .mov and .wmv files will not play at all. Kaffeine opens but I am
apparently missing some necessary plug-ins.
Kaffeine version is 0.4.3b
Kaffeine was installed from the SuSE DVD

This sounds as if it might be a very good idea. I will try this and report the
results. I will also try to get all of the codecs from pacman.
I used to be able to do all of this very easily when I had SuSE 9.1 and Red
Carpet. But I have not yet found the secret to getting Red Carpet to work using
9.2.
Thanks for your help.
