I think it would be correct to install it using the port. Sometimes the= =20 system cannot download the file; namely I had the same problem with this=20 port. You can download the file manually, and then replace the temporary=20 file created in /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin7xxx/... with the correct=20 one. Then go to /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7 and issue make install=20 clean again. The system checks first whether the file is in the distfiles;= =20 if it is not the case, it will fetch it. Andriy
