I had a fresh system. When I put all the pieces in place via the ports, the flash9 didn't work. I have explained ad nauseum about why what I want is the correct way to go, from both a reasonable standpoint, and also froma standpoint of trying to follow hier(7). I wasn't able to get official notice, either with this thread, or with a direct mail I sent. I'm finished arguing. I know better then to try to argue the individual ports authors, without having offficial approval of what I want, I would just be asking for endless arguing, and I don't like that. I tried, and it looks to me like I failed. You know, I have gone to using my Mac OS/X system to do my browsing, but you are right about one point, I did notice a crash or two from firefox, if I did enough flash exercise.... but even though I admit I would kinda like to track that down, I couldn't do it if I was at the same time fighting a loading problem. Hmmm, you know, because I fixed my own system not to have that problem, maybe I could go ahead, here, and try to track it down. Be enough to interest me, I might go ahead and work on that. I kinda like the linuxulator code. ] Anyhow, I am hereby finished with this thread, I gave it a fair try, and failed. > > Bye, > Alexander. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHkPOdz62J6PPcoOkRAqqfAJ0bCSk1vut5gM7Y5vUwkoxPcYp5owCfan18 lE3mjBxNVuen1LqpEA5t5Ts= =pvq+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
