Hi Lonnie

  No go means when I encounter a flash wants to dl and install before playing the 
desired program, it want s to down load a new copy.

   s the plugin listed in 'about:plugins' ?   NO   about:plugins listed on about.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060504
Fedora/1.5.0.3-1.1.fc5 Firefox/1.5.0.3 pango-text

I may be *** out of luck till early 07, Thanks for the info Vu.

Did try to find a copy of gnash from gnu, just could not find all of the pieces.
