Hello Martin,

I just got Flash working on FreeBSD 4.8 RELEASE, so I hope this helps 
you with 5.1.

First off, I'm running linux-opera from the ports. Here is the output 
from pkg_info | grep opera: linux-opera-7.11.20030515_2.

Second, I installed the port for Flash, the output from pkg_inf | grep 
flash is: linux-flashplugin-6.0r79 The official Macromedia Flash Player 
for Linux Mozilla and

I downloaded the flash port here: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=linux-flash&stype=all&release=4.9-STABLE%2Fi386

Once the Flash player is installed, I went to my Opera plugins directory 
located at: /usr/X11R6/share/opera/plugins

I then ran the following commands:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/flashplayer.xpt
ln -s /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so

Then I started opera and all was happy.

I hope this helps you,
Thanatos
