I got flash working with Firefox 4, there was apparently a bad checksum in the ports tree. I had to add a "make makesum" command. My installation steps for Flash ended up being: # kldload linux # cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-f10 # make install clean # echo 'linux_enable=3D"YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf # echo 'linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab # mount -a # cd /usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper # make install clean # cd /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 # make makesum # make install clean Now I can integrate this into my install script. thanks!
