On this box, the file I showed is in /usr/share. But the yumex screen for showing the file contents also showed /usr/share. But hell, I've been screwing with this for about 36 hours so far and have only succedded in making FF even more unstable than it is. If it would just toss a can't find file such-and-such error message, that would be extremely helpfull, but it simply, quietly, instantly goes away. I've been running it from a shell all this time hoping it might get to feeling talkative. But its mute, while I'm getting dumber. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
