They produce different outputs. I did get sensible output from whereis
this time:

/usr/bin/mozilla
/usr/lib/mozilla

The Flash installer accepts neither as directories (which they
aren't), yet it suggests one of them itself.

The installer is supposed to work with RH9 and Moz 1.2+, which is what
I have.

Yup, groovy, shoulda done that myself. Nothing new tho.

Ah. Good one. I haven't an icon, but I've a menu option. It runs:
mozilla %u

Glad we sorted that out :-)

Interesting, I used ls -a to see all those, there's a mozilla one, but
there's no plugins folder under it. I tried
/home/john/.mozilla/plugins and it didn't accept it.

Sounds like the only option available.

Payback for your efforts at last then :-)

I've kinda given up on that unless someone has anything wonderful to
say. Next. Java installation. Stand by for action.
