unable to install Klash in Konquereror cannot view flash

[Eric Dunbar]

PS BootX is a Mac OS-only program. IT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR
FORM HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH Linux. The only thing BootX does is load
the kernel for Linux from within Mac OS and then passes off control to
the kernel.

All BootX configuration happens in Mac OS 9 and is done through the
BootX control panel (which is also the program that loads the Linux
kernel).

This is a slightly differrent way of saying what I wrote.
