This shouldn't be that hard - in fact, there is =20 already a linux-flashplugin9 port. ---snip--- Comments from other people with some more money not included here... And now the sad reality check: linux-flashplugin9 will _never_ work on =20 6.x (lack of linux 2.6 emulation, and this is not a MFC candidate). Getting it to work on 7.x is possible. "All what you need" is =20 nspluginwrapper to get it running in the native =20 firefox/opera/whatever, and someone who is willing to debug the =20 linuxulator (on -current, as there is a more complete 2.6 =20 compatibility there, and this can be MFCed to 7.x) and find the =20 bug/problem which is causing the crashes. Whoever is willing to tackle =20 this: head over to emulation@ (CCed) and ask what debugging =20 possibilities we have in the linuxulator. Note: AFAIK linux-flashplugin9 is not completely stable on linux either... Bye, Alexander. --=20 Leela: Well, goodnight.
