I've been following this thread since I have had many problems in the past with FireFox and Flash. I'm now running FreeBSD 7.0 CURRENT 200701 on a desktop box and loaded the linux flash and it works fine so far with Firefox and Mozilla on this box. It is a ASUS mobo - with a dual AMD 64 / 4200 clock This install is way better than any of the ones I have experienced with FreeBSD before. I have used FreeBSD since 3.* early 1990's if memory serves me. -- ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + noc@hdk5.net + + http://internetohana.org - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* + "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
