Many thanks for making a usable flash plugin a reality. I also had to perform the above copy, so the above info helped me. I don't necessarily like sites that try to force flash upon people, but at the same time it's a pain to be among the flash impaired. I ended up switching from FreeBSD back to Linux for a while due to the lack of a stable flash plugin. Anyway, for reference this is what I have on my box which appears to be working well so far: FreeBSD: RELENG_7 Firefox: native firefox-3.0.4,1 compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 On my previous FreeBSD install I was also having problems with acroread. It would segfault every time I tried to start it. With the above it's also working well. I did have a minor problem with the above setup and one of acroread8's dependencies, linux-nvu. It wanted libgobject-2.0.so.0 from devel/linux-glib2 under ${LINUXBASE}/usr/lib/. emulators/linux_base-f8 installed libgobject-2.0.so.0 at ${LINUXBASE}/lib/. I tried changing the dependency line in the linux-nvu port's Makefile accordingly but it kept trying to pull in linux-glib2 as a dependency. The install of linux-glib2 would fail as it has some file conflicts with linux_base-f8. I finally just removed the dependency line for libgobject-2.0.so.0 from linux-nvu all together, since I knew the library was installed and available, and all appears well.
