Did you check the info at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html In particular, I ran into a problem with creating the link. I received an error message stating the link existed; however, even if it did it was not working correctly. I corrected it with this: ln -s -F /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ I then ran: "nspluginwrapper -v -a -i" and all is well, or at least as well as can be expected with Flash and FreeBSD. Not exactly a marriage made in heaven. Good luck, you'll need it. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
