I have re-run the tests while trying to reduce the number of variable elements as follows:

* opera11.tcz and opera11.scm were used for direct comparison
* flash11.tcz was rebuilt today (v11.2.202.236)
* flash.scm was rebuilt today (default - is this v11.2.202.228 as latest shown by --available)
* The progs loaded were minimized as shown in each test
* The same youtube video about TC was used http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEwr6Mvyx9s
* The machine was rebooted between each test


TEST1

--- Code: ---cat /mnt/sdb1/tce/onboot.lst

Xvesa.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
kmaps.tcz
icewm.tcz
OSS.tcz
opera-11.tcz
flash11.tcz
--- End code ---


--- Code: ---cat /mnt/sdb1/tce/scmboot.lst

empty
--- End code ---
Result: Works

TEST2

--- Code: ---cat /mnt/sdb1/tce/onboot.lst

Xvesa.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
kmaps.tcz
icewm.tcz
OSS.tcz
opera-11.tcz
--- End code ---


--- Code: ---cat /mnt/sdb1/tce/scmboot.lst

flash
--- End code ---
Result: Fails
Screenshot: opera-11.tcz+flash.scm.jpg



TEST3

--- Code: ---cat /mnt/sdb1/tce/onboot.lst

Xvesa.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
kmaps.tcz
icewm.tcz
OSS.tc
--- End code ---


--- Code: ---cat /mnt/sdb1/tce/scmboot.lst

opera-11
flash
--- End code ---
Result: Fails

TEST4

--- Code: ---cat /mnt/sdb1/tce/onboot.lst

Xvesa.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
kmaps.tcz
icewm.tcz
OSS.tcz
flash11.tcz
--- End code ---


--- Code: --- cat /mnt/sdb1/tce/scmboot.lst

opera-11
--- End code ---
Result: Works

In the tests using flash-11.tcz always works irrespective of the browser format. Using flash.scm always fails irrespective of the browser format.  Is this is due to a difference in version of flash used during the builing of the scm/tcz?

When building the tcz flash the version number is displayed.  The scm version does not.  Is the same version used for both builds?  The scm --available does not list the version used by the tcz. Does the default scm build always download the latest published version?

Would it be possible to test using a limited number of programs loaded such as I used?  Perhaps OSS and keymaps may be omitted.

Uhmm... what about loading gtk2?

Jason W:
It is assumed that gtk2.scm will be loaded when using flash.scm.  But I will make part of the getflash script create a flash.scm.dep file so when flash.scm is loaded it will also load gtk2.scm.

Looking at the onboot.lst and scmboot.lst above, missing gtk2 is the obvious culprit.

The requirement appears to be most obvious from the .info

IMHO making gtk2.scm a mandatory dependency would result in a huge penalty for all users having gtk2.tcz already installed.
By my estimation the amount of users loading gtk2.tcz anyway and occasionally wanting to make use of flash.scm may not be negligible.
