If so, you can pound away at it manually. Or you can always... emerge sqlite If you want a GUI rather than command-line, try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/ You also mentioned "flash cookies" in passing. They're a totally different animal. They're files that reside in directories ~/.adobe and ~/.macromedia. The way to kill them is to remove the directories and create dummy files with the same names, so that Flash can't create the directories. Here's a short script... #!/bin/bash rm -rf ~/.adobe touch ~/.adobe rm -rf ~/.macromedia touch ~/.macromedia The only problem is that certain sites won't play videos without those directories being present (e.g. video highlights at http://nhl.com ). I handle them with the following script... #!/bin/bash rm -rf ~/.adobe rm -rf ~/.macromedia sleep 20 rm -rf ~/.adobe touch ~/.adobe rm -rf ~/.macromedia touch ~/.macromedia I launch the script from a terminal, and then immediately click on the video link in my browser. This gets the videos going, and keeps them going until they finish. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
