central location to download plugins?

Perquisitor · 07-14-2004, 07:32 PM

I just installed Mandrake 10 on my computer. There are two users, myself and my wife. We like different web browsers. She likes Mozilla, and I like FireFox. I want to download and install plugins like Shockwave, Flash, and others. Where might I install them so that I don't have to install duplicate applications.......so that we both can share the application?

you can install them in one central place(say something like /usr/share/mozillaplugins) then make symlinks to the "plugins" directory in where you installed these browsers, eg.

Code:

ln -s /usr/share/mozillaplugins /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
