I know the evil empire does it that way, too. But it's still pointless keeping plug-ins for programs that have been removed. They're not configuration files that you might want access to. And there's probably a good chance you'd have to re-install them separately, to get them working again, if you'd re-installed the older browser, anyway. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
