I don't relay like the idea of > installing linux-base and the linux kernel module, If you use linux-flashlugin with www/linuxpluginwrapper, then you don't need the linux emulation at all (neither linux-base nor the kernel module). However, if you use linux-flashplugin natively (with a linux browser), then both are required. In fact, I think you also need x11/linux-xorg-libs (because the plugin is linked against libs from that port), even though it is not listed as a dependency. Maybe that's a bug, or maybe I haven't looked closely enough. :-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
