With all this talk about FLASH, I found something out by trial and error and want to post again to the list so that others searching can get the FLASH player working in their brower: THIS STEP IS NEEDED OR FLASH WILL NOT WORK: sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.20 Better yet, add this to your /etc/sysctl.conf file and reboot: compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.20 NOTE: I just picked 2.6.20 kinda at random... seems like that is the linux kernel number (which I know nothing about) for the Fedora 7 release. Oh, and I installed Fedora 7 instead of the default Fedora Core 4 on my desktop. Why does the linux emulation pick 2.4.2 as the kernel version number to report (by default) and not 2.6.11 (their kernel version shipped with Fedora 4)? Seems like the ports should and linux module should be updated... Rudy
