unable to install Klash in Konquereror cannot view flash

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Bill:

Basic points of information:
Official TSS support for BootX ended after YDL 3.0.1.  This is why it is 
only available from YDL versions 2 and 3/3.0.1.  This also explains why 
members of this community who've been pitching in to assist you have 
information regarding using it with more current versions of YDL and the 
official TSS website does not.  The information is published on the TSS 
lists and it's archives - so people like us can refer to past published 
information and ask new ones -- but all this is voluntary effort.

And like all other voluntary efforts the instructions how to do a task 
or resolve a problem -- especially on Old World systems (but this may be 
true for anything else) -- will vary greatly.

Regarding use of BootX with more current versions of YDL, the 
instructions reside with those individuals who may or may not choose to 
share what they know, have done , resolved or discovered.  Of course, 
when and if a choice is made to publish something on these lists -- 
everyone benefits. 

Regarding "technobabble" -- in Linux (as in any Unix) some terms and 
concepts are unavoidable.  If there is a concept, term or something else 
you are stuck on please feel comfortable to ask.  No one individual 
knows everything, but the effort to reach out and share or ask -- really 
helps minimize the often very challenging and difficult environment all 
around us.

So ask, and someone will answer. 

Best wishes...
