It is not that the | web player is prohibited in FreeBSD, but the operating system itself | is not compatible with Player. | | Please note that it is your option whether to install Flash Player on | your FreeBSD; however, please note that we cannot provide you with any | technical support, warranties or remedies for the software, although | it is clearly stated on the End User License Agreement, the only | authorized operating systems where you may download and install Flash | Player. | | To view the System Requirements of Flash Player, you may go to: | | http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/productinfo/systemreqs/ | | In connection with this, if you would like to make suggestions or | comments on how we can improve future versions of our software, or to | report possible "bugs" in our current versions, please visit: | | http://www.macromedia.com/support/email/wishform/ | | Your comments, suggestions, and ideas for improvements are very | important to us. We appreciate you taking the time to send us this | information. | | I hope this helps. | | Should you have further concerns, feel free to write us back. | | Regards, | | Astrid C.
