DRAC5 remote console and non-ActiveX web browser

The trick is to install the plugin as root (at least on Ubuntu) since it 
doesn't respect user's own plugin install directory.

I also would suggest running a Firefox as root from a terminal session 
while installing it, that way you see which errors occurs if it fails. 
If my memory serves me right, for one you have to have /bin/sh symlinked 
to /bin/bash and second you need some sort of java setup.

There are really only three types of people:

  Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen
  and those who say, "What happened?"
