Flash in Konquerer web browser

[Rodney Kanno]

Hi Jeff,

I must be blind or something because I did what you said and I went to 
configure Konquerer,  in the configure menu, I chose the browser settings and 
then clicked on all the tabs. I couldn't find any place to set the directory 
for plugins. There is a plugin tab, but there is only an option to enable 
plugins globally and nothing else. I am using Mandrake 8 and KDE 2.1.2. Do I 
need an update or something?

Thanks,
Rodney
