I saved this email in case I was ever actually forced to use Flash some day, and now that day has come... however, there are a number of steps that must have come before installing linux firefox and running linkfarm. Googling around led to http://altbit.org/pseudorandom/unixlike_translation.txt , which I followed. I found ( http://www.jail.se/freebsd.html ) a note that things had been randomly moved to /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/ , so I followed their directions too. Still, both native and Linux firefoxes don't even try to use Flash at all. Can someone who successfully has Flash working on FreeBSD (on any browser) let me know how to get started?
