I followed these steps and other tips, but nothing seems, to work....
and once I can get on my machine (I am at work at the moment) I can copy and paste what is going on into this forum..
http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/Flash
pkg_add -r linuxpluginwrapper
cd /usr/ports/*/linux-flashplugin7;make install
its at that point I can go no further, because fetch attempts to well, fetch a file that doesnt exist, is unavailible....
if there is a better way, could someone let me know?
