Clint actually you can have flash up and running by using a couple of ports. The flashpluginwrapper and linuxpluginwrapper ports do the trick for me. For excellent step by step instructions on setting up flash with flashpluginwrapper go to.... http://www.evilcommandline.com/ Also, shows you a bunch of other newbie stuff that is great. Check it out. Now to your questions concerning the linuxplugin wrapper. I did install the linuxpluginwrapper: Firefox doesn't have an LD_PRELOAD entry. So, there's nothing to> change here? You are correct. I did not make any changes to firefox to get it to work either. 2) I don't even have a /etc/libmap.conf. So, rather than change lines I put the ones they suggested in there. It says SEE ALSO, %%LIBMAPCONF%%. What is that? Basically here what you want to do is go to your examples directory. (/usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper) There you will find the entire libmap.conf that you need. There are several libmap.conf files available. Ofcourse, whatever version of FreeBSD you are using then use that one. libmap.conf-FreeBSD4.x libmap.conf-FreeBSD5-current libmap.conf-FreeBSD5-stable Whatever one you choose copy it to /etc/libmap.conf 3) So, when I apply this dlsym(7) patch, what do I do next? Rebuild world and reinstall? It doesn't say. I did not install such a patch. Pretty sure that you dont also? 4) It doesn't even say HOW to setup Flash7 support even though it's not reliable. Once you find the libmap.conf you are going to see that it is broke down in various sections by the diferent programs. As always comment out what you dont want. You may have to manually installed linux-flashplugin7 from the ports if you wish to use it. You should be well on your way to having flash up and running. If you have any other questions please let us know and we will be glad to help. v/r Derrick
