Thank you for the information. I searched and searched the lists for this info, and found nothing. I was just guessing on the kernel version number to use. :) Questions to freebsd-questions about the linux version to use and how to get flash working went unanswered. .if ${OSVERSION} >= 7000000 LINUX_OSRELEASE!= ${ECHO_CMD} `${SYSCTL} -n compat.linux.osrelease 2>/dev/null` .if ${LINUX_OSRELEASE}x == "x" IGNORE= linuxulator is not (kld)loaded .elif ${LINUX_OSRELEASE} == "2.4.2" @${ECHO} " flash7 doesn't work, but if you set your linux kernel" @${ECHO} " emulation to version 2.6.16 and update all your linux packages" @${ECHO} " it will work. To do this type this command:" @${ECHO} " pkg_delete -f linux_base-fc4" @${ECHO} " portinstall linux_base-f7" @${ECHO} " portupgrade linux-\\*" @${ECHO} " echo "compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16" >> /etc/sysctl.conf && reboot" @${ECHO} "" @${ECHO} " *** WARNING 2.6.x EMULATION is not yet stable, skilled people only ***" IGNORE= compat.linux.osrelease: 2.4.2 is not supported .endif As for OSVERSION < 7000000? Leave the port broken! I've moved on and am ready for 7! Seems simple enough to me. :) - Rudy
