HI,

Firefox plugins are useful. The flash plugin is essential. While we can download the plugin into DSL Live CD each time. isn't there an easier way?

I made the .firefox_plugins directory with the flash plugins, put it ito the options directory. When I start booting from the CD, I rename the /ramdisk/opt/ .firefox_plugins and copy the .firefox_plugins directory I made to the /ramdisk/opt directory. Restat fluxbox and now flah pages are seen through firefox.

THis is tedious. Can this be automated to boot at bootup from the live CD without remastering/ISO hacking?

Thanks for yout suggestions

You can for your personal use, but I don't think it can be included in the distro.

Liscensing issues.

That's why we had to take flash out of the firefox extension, back at 0.8.x.

Nope..  no .dsl

Macromedia does not allow DSL, or any other entity,
to 'freely' distribute their ware.

That is why we have the link to 'get flash'

Once you have downloaded it the first time,
you can add the opt/.firefox_plugins directory to your
home/dsl/filetool.lst file, and run a backup.
Then your backup will save the plugin,
and reinstall it on your next bootup automatically.

Can I do this in the live CD?
