After looking for a while for multimedia firefox plugins, I am glad to
hear that there is flash plugins (well, after trying to compile, without
any luck to
get vlc plugin for mozilla from ports) from redhat emulation.
However I tried to compile the opera-plugins, however I could not
get flash-7.0r61.tar.gz from http://mirrors.protection.cx/~jolan and elsewhere.
Would appreciate if anyone can share the clue.
I will like to try Gnash, however I am very new, and what is CVS?
Thanks and best regards,
Riwan

Don't do that. :)
There are other options besides what's in the FAQ.

Gnash CVS was stable on OpenBSD as of yesterday, if you want to
try that, or you could wait a few weeks for the next alpha
release.
Current Gnash CVS just needs one small patch :
