[olug] flash player on Mozilla or Konqueror on Mandrake 10

[Nathan Brown]

Ok,  I really think I like Mozilla better than Konqueror but this 
version of mandrake uses Konqueror by default to do everything including 
file management. 

If I were to make Mozilla the default browser would that affect my GUI 
file managing interface and if so what do I do about that ? 


thanks,
Nate
