This can be done via the following command: # mount -t linprocfs linproc /compat/linux/proc This point can be automated at boot time with the addition of the matching line in /etc/fstab: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- This information doesn't seem to be necessary as Flash plays fine without it mounted. If it isn't necessary, it's a potential security threat. >How-To-Repeat: Use flash player without linprocfs mounted. >Fix: Remove the unneeded text: The Linux® process file system, linprocfs(5) has to be mounted on /compat/linux/proc, if one wants to play Flash animations.
