However, using the above package name as a search term, Google was able to lead me to the answer: ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/flashplayer-mozilla_6.0.79-woody0.1_i386.deb ...and since this is a .deb, it's straightforward to install it purely for the purpose of visiting that particular site and uninstall it afterwards. I got the polar diagrams. Thanks for your pointer! I also found source code at http://debian.uni-klu.ac.at/PLAYERS-SRC/dists/unstable/main/source/install-flash-player_6.0.79* so if I get bored enough :-) I might hack up my own dummy plugin... -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
