Da Rock, of course. But I have no idea where to leave the howto. Where do such articles go for FreeBSD? I just found the official doku on the freebsd.org page, also some articles there.

Adobe Flash Player Petition
Hi List, I just wrote an email to Justin Everett-Church. He is the product manager for the Adobe Flash Player, this is his blog: http://justin.everett-church.com/index.php/aboutjustin/ His email: blog at justin.mailshell.com Another product manager is Emmy Huang, but I couldnt find her email address. We can try to make Adobe release a Flash Player plugin for FreeBSD. It is merely a matter for them to compile it and put it on their website for download. PLEASE CONTACT ADOBE. TELL THEM TO RELEASE A FLASH PLUGIN FOR FREEBSD. There are more and more websites you cannot even enter without a running Flash Player. If many of the BSD community ask for it, they probably will release a BSD Version..

Re: Adobe Flash Player Petition
In my computer running FreeBSD 7.0 64bits with gnome 2.22 the linksys site works ok... indeed I can see more than 90% of the flash (that is still 7) using nspluginwrapper. and for those that not work, the wine+firefox solution is used... it all works including youtube, bbc, fox, aol, uol... and also openoffice-3.0 too all in 64 bits and it is very fast. I also use the 7.0 in several notebooks here at the company, and everything works...

Note that there isn't even a x64 version of the flash player for Linux. I think it also took quite a while before they released the Windows 64-bit version.

Re: Adobe Flash Player Petition
Thanks to all the input I found a solution what works for me: FreeBSD 7.0 and Firefox 3.0a2 (the firefox-devel port) 1. I deinstalled swfdec. 2. Closed Firefox and renamed .mozilla to .mozilla.backup 3. Started firefox so to generate a new and clean .mozilla 4. #make install /usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper 5. Downloaded http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlashP2_Platform=Linux --the .tar.gz format. 6. Extract libflashplayer.so from install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz and copy it to ~/.mozilla/plugins 7. Then, as normal user: $nspluginwrapper -v -a -i (to install) $nspluginwrapper -l (to check if its installed) 8. Copied the settings, like bookmarks.html and other stuff like themes from .mozilla.backup to .mozilla (dont copy the whole bunch back not to overwrite the plugin settings) 9. My /etc/rc.conf has the entry linux_enable=YES -- I suppose this is necessary. That way you can enter the wonderful world of annoying advertisment even without using Windows..
