I have to agree with Andreas Vetter. Firefox/java/flash should simply work, without manual intervention, on any gui installation (even x86_64). In my opinion, the decision to go with only OSS solutions - even though they don't work right - is likely to push end-users toward other distributions.
Can you name a distribution that has a working java on x86_64? perhaps we can check how they solved it.
Greetings, Stephan
Sorry. openSUSE is the only 64-bit o/s that I've tested so far. I've tried a few other 32-bit distros, but I've been reluctant to spend much time with them because we use Novell OES at work. I tried installing 64-bit NLD on my work PC, but had to back off because too many things didn't work (at that time). I apologize for complaining without sufficiently testing other distros. ....Gregg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
