Thanx.

BTW, if you saw my post, I found a _better_ way to tell me
what RPMs I've loaded that are _not_ in the YUM repositories
-- Fedora Core, Extras and Livna.ORG, as I have configured.

  # yum list extras

That made it ultra-simple to get just what I had added, which
was the i386/i586 RPMs from Fedora Core/Extras (basic
Firefox, a few others), Livna.ORG (most of the multimedia
add-ons) and 3rd parties (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader,
Macromedia Flash, Sun Java Run-time).

BTW, I should have posted my
/usr/lib/modules/firefox[-1.0.6]/plugins directory.  I will
do that early next week when I have access to my Athlon 64
system again.
