Easily installing Flash Player means you just need to add the /extra repo to your system and then run: pfexec pkg install web/firefox/plugin/flash Here's some instructions on how to do that: http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/installing_extra_packages_against_opensolaris > and i have notice that when i search over the internet for some > application for mac, these applications are not working on > opensolaris. You can't run Mac applications on OpenSolaris. You can only run them under Mac OS. Mac OS and OpenSolaris are two entirely different operating systems and they are not binary compatible.
