I was working with this last night. Apparently flashplugingwrapper is being depreciated, and the "new way" is via www/linuxpluginwrapper instead, which installs Flash6. The process is a bit convoluted, though... on my 5.1 system I had to build libmap support, which involved downloading the 5.1 sources (420MB, which I hadn't before) and building rtld-elf. Then when you build linuxpluginwrapper it tells you stuff to add to /etc/libmap.conf. Even after all that, it's a bit unstable, but I have it working mostly w/ Firebird and Epiphany. Still playing around with it. One site that has stuff which requires Flash6 (www.verizon.com) occasionally locks up Epiphany, and right now something busted so every site I go to with Flash it prompts me to dl the plugin even though I have it (this happened just recently).home | help
