Like has been said, Wine is far from perfect, but this works great > until a native Flash can be made for FreeBSD. > > Naram Qashat I'm not at my box right now, but it went something like this: 0. Install wine ( emulators/wine ) 1. Download firefox for windows ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html ) 2. Run: wine "Firefox Setup 3.0.exe" 3. Complete the installer 4. To run firefox you need to do something like: wine "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe" (I forget the exact path / command name) 5. Navigate to the adobe flash download page ( use goole or something ) and download the flash installer for windows. 6. When the download is complete, run it ( should be able to do this from the download manager in firefox ) 7. Complete the flash installer ( this will require you to close firefox, so do that ) 8. Start firefox again (see the wine firefox.exe command from above) 9. Create a script to start firefox under wine since the command is so ugly. I might write up some better instructions when I have the time, but I really don't have a good place to put them. -Mark C.
