Hi,
I just installed the latest Knoppix (V3.3.-2003-11-19) on my harddisk.
[I am impressed with the smoothness of the installation. ALL of the
hardware are recognized, except the Speedtouch Modem (USB)
which needs a little more tweak. But his is not the reason I post this
message]
Its about the flash installation script (Knoppix ==> Utilities ==> Install flash
plugin). Its a very good script.
However, we have to be root to run it. And the plugin is installed in
root's home directory (i.e. /root/.mozilla/plugins).
So, other user will not enjoy the newly installed plugin. It should install
the plugin in the user's home directory.
Solution:
Copy the installed files to the main mozilla directory (as root):
# cp /root/.mozilla/plugins/*flash* /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Suggestion:
1. Let users run the script, but the plugins is installed in user's home
directory.
2. If the script is run as root, the plugins should be installed in mozilla
main directory.
Just want to share my two cents of thought,
Ery

I just went and installed flash and java to the borwsers before remastering my CD.![]()
Yes, sir! I am very sure.Originally Posted by aay
However, I did this through the GUI menu K ==> Knoppix ==> Utilities ==> Install flash plugin.
After your posting, I checked that the script itself (/usr/bin/install_flashplugin.sh) is world-executable so I can execute that from shell.
Glitches in the GUI?
