so it is only 64bit firefox that can use the plugin! thanks!, also, thanks for the compile suggestion. now to verify how the source rpm compile goes: as a REGULAR user run: rpm --rebuild -bb foo.src.rpm, which creates an rpm
This created a X86_64 RPM for me.

I just use rpm -Uvh then run SuSEconfig
correct? but i am a little scared about running 10.1 yet, there seem to be issues with vmware and i need that to run flawlesly. is there a reason why the same recompile can not be done in suse 10.0? but then how can the flash plugin work in either 10.0 or 10.1? is there a source code/rpm for flash?
I've got VMware running without any problems and there is a work-around for USB devices that seems to be the only problem. I found that with VMware running on 10.0 the whole machine would freeze for short periods or at least become very sluggish. With 10.1 VMware behaves far better, so unless you have a need to use USB devices with VMware then it works fine. I did use the VMware any-any update. If you want to run Linux virtual machines then Xen works very nicely under 10.1.

But what about flash? Re vmware, my printer is an hp7350 and often a print job gets messed up in cups, it just stops in the middle of the task. This is more prevalent with vm virtual machines, so my workaround has been to access the printer as a native printer thru the usb port, so the usb port or an updated driver is needed for me. dimitris
