8.2 is outdated, there are no more security patches. Even 9.2 is outdated. You should update to openSuSE 10.2 which is available for free and provides flash7 and. If you need it, flash9 beta works on 10.2 too.
Thank you; updating 8.2 is not an option on her p2-300 (from '98) / 256Mb / dial-up... When SUSE 10.0 came out, I tried it almost immediately and to be honest, there was simply no way to work with KDE's extreme slow speed. In contrast 8.2's KDE is surprisingly responsive
Dunno how tough it is to find good used stuff over where you are, but eBay has PII & PIII CPU's 400MHz up to around 850 MHz for the boards that came new with chips like hers, for as little as $10 up to maybe $50. A 500 or 600 MHz chip replacement for ~$30 will take up all the slack between 8.2 & 10.x. Note that a PIII requires a different cooler configuration than a PII. Another 256M of RAM wouldn't hurt either, even at 300 MHz. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace." Colossians 4:6 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
