I'm totally confused. I was simply trying to get flash 9 or 7 working =20 in RELENG7 with which ever version of linux emulation and have been =20 totally unsuccessful. In this I have been reading several other folks =20 where in fc4 something works and in fc7 it doesn't (Java, IIRC) and =20 the "scandalous status of linux-flashplugin9" thread, Sam Fourman Jr., =20 is able to get flash working in firefox with gnash that completely =20 crashes my installation. The last couple of days I have tried to vary =20 the version of linux emulation and test both flash 7 & 9 and gnash in =20 fc4, fc6 and f7 but only using 2.4.2 and 2.6.16 although the Java =20 issue talks of 2.6.19. How are these versions derived? Is there any =20 up to date general information about linux emulation on freebsd and a =20 few examples for configuration? The strange part of all this is that gnash crashes all, flash 7 just =20 shows a gray screen on all and flash 9 actually has a play button that =20 looks like it is going to work and then goes to the gray screen and =20 plays the sound but without video. Any suggestions as to where to find information on the different =20 combinations of emulation and how and why would be great as would a =20 working flash player like gnash is designed to be. Thanks, ed P.S. Why not ;) Is there any hope in all this for GoogleEarth? =20 Probably a very silly question.
