36 I exited and logged back into KDE....

39 What did I miss?
40 I have firefox-bin installed and working but seamonkey
41 is not the binary version. I wanted to get flash working
42 on this amd64 system by correctly compiling and setting
43 up the files.
44
45 Perhaps I need to manually download the plugin sources,
46 put them under /usr/portage/somewhere; edit a few
47 files and rebuild the sources?
48
49 ideas or a wiki would be keen.
