Thanks for the quick reply. As I said, I still recommend the program---because 
it works and its capabilities are otherwise unavailable. As for the install, I 
did have to change tar to gtar on my standard OpenSolaris installation, for 
reasons I don't know. 

Also, do you have a script to do a completely clean uninstall? I tried to 
uninstall the menus, which left one item left. I manually deleted this in 
gnome, and now I can't reinstall the menus. I'd like to pull everything out 
completely, and just start over.

A quick question on flash player: can you get the beta 10.1b3 release working? 
The reason that I ask is about GPU acceleration. There is much better GPU 
acceleration in the Windows version that doesn't appear in Linux (at least) 
because the video acceleration isn't standard (there's a bunch of posts on that 
at Adobe Labs). I don't know enough of the details to understand how 
Bordeaux/Wine talks to the GPU in OpenSolaris, but if you could get the Windows 
flash player with full GPU acceleration to give you the same (or similar) 
performance on OpenSolaris, that would be a stunning technical achievement.

FlashPlayer 10 is (thankfully) working properly on OpenSolaris, but its GPU 
acceleration is limited, and video performance is certainly less than that on 
Windows (when I reboot and use FlashPlayer 10.1beta. I'm not sure if Adobe 
plans to spend much time on full GPU acceleration on OpenSolaris, since I think 
their perception is that the market is small, so if we could use Bordeaux to 
circumvent this with Windows versions (as opposed to using VirtualBox or 
something else, which isn't that fast), that would be spectacular!
