Yea, I can use Opera as well, but I also want to
figure out why the plugin doesn't compile with the
flash port and/or another method for getting flash up
in firefox.

built.
I think if you used Opera for 5 days you'd find it
better in EVERY WAY
POSSIBLE than Firefox... My 2 cents. I find page
loads to be much faster,
and nav is 10x faster with gestures and keyboard
shortcuts.
Approach it with an open mind, not Firefox is the
unstoppable browser
attitude, and as always YMMV

If you for some reason need a working flash

in a browser, use
opera and macromedia's Linux flash plug-in.
get these packages from your neighborhood mirror
redhat_base*
redhat_motif*
next install ports/www/opera (no package)
(this will build redhat_base itself but it has to
source loads of shit
from everywhere and getting the package is
quicker,
also it won't
install motif which you need for flash)
Download Flash player 7 for mozilla 1.2 linux x86
from
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
Untar and copy the .so and .xft to
/usr/local/lib/opera/plugins (don't
untar in /usr/local/lib/opera this makes opera
segfault)
Flash should work in opera now, go to
about:plugins
to be sure.
Also when you first run opera it will ask if you
want random graphical
ads or targeted text ads. I'd pick random
graphical,
don't particularly
like the URLs of what page I'm viewing being sent
to
google all the
time.

Would this work for firefox or would it work
with
netscape?
