Hi there, I have native firefox with flash 7 working fine on FreeBSD 6.2, with
java and adobe reader. Note I always install via ports, and they are up to
date. Anyway, here is how, you can try it from packages, ie pkg_add -r xxxxx -
hopefully that works too, but if it doesnt then installing from ports
definately does.
[ Note, I just copies/pasted this from my notes, there may be later versions of
these packages you can also use - but IIRC I had some problems with them ]
install www/firefox
install print/acroread7
install java/diablo-jdk15
install www/linux-flashplugin7
kldload linux
echo "none /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0
0" >> /etc/fstab
mount -a
echo "linux_enable=\"YES\"" >> /etc/rc.conf
nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
Cheers, Tim.
