Snap from the FreeBSD handbook: (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html) ...<snap> Install the www/linuxpluginwrapper port. This port requires emulators/linux_base which is a large port. Follow the instructions displayed by the port to set up your /etc/libmap.conf correctly! Example configurations are installed into /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/ directory. The next step is to install the www/linux-flashplugin7 port. Once the plugin is installed, start your browser, enter about:plugins in the location bar and press Enter. A list should appear with all the currently available plugins. If the Flash plugin is not listed, this is, most of time, caused by a missing symlink. As root, run the following commands: # ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so \ /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ # ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/flashplayer.xpt \ /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ If you restart your browser the plugin should now appears in the previously mentioned list. Note: The linuxpluginwrapper only works on the i386™ system architecture. ...<snap> You can also try out GNUs flashplayer wich you can install from the ports collection. /usr/ports/graphics/gnash You can read about it here: (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/) I myself run gnash for the moment. It's in Alpha version so it's far from perfect, but I'm sure it will evolve in a good way and I don't have to emulate linux. -- /Peo
