Not only did it not take the install path properly, but it started some
sort of rogue process on my machine ! My laptop fan went nuts and I did
a top and found a macromedia process running ! What is up with that ?
I very much dislike installing third party closed source software that
comes from the Internet. I killed the macromedia process. A few
minutes later my fan went nuts again. This time top showed the process
"top" running at 98% cpu usage. I rebooted and now the process list
looks OK.
I need shockwave to view a website. Anyone else had this
experience ?
