I'm totally confused. I was simply trying to get flash 9 or 7 working =20
in RELENG7 with which ever version of linux emulation and have been =20
totally unsuccessful.  In this I have been reading several other folks =20
where in fc4 something works and in fc7 it doesn't (Java, IIRC) and =20
the "scandalous status of linux-flashplugin9" thread, Sam Fourman Jr., =20
is able to get flash working in firefox with gnash that completely =20
crashes my installation.  The last couple of days I have tried to vary =20
the version of linux emulation and test both flash 7 & 9 and gnash in =20
fc4, fc6 and f7 but only using 2.4.2 and 2.6.16 although the Java =20
issue talks of 2.6.19.  How are these versions derived?  Is there any =20
up to date general information about linux emulation on freebsd and a =20
few examples for configuration?

The strange part of all this is that gnash crashes all, flash 7 just =20
shows a gray screen on all and flash 9 actually has a play button that =20
looks like it is going to work and then goes to the gray screen and =20
plays the sound but without video.

Any suggestions as to where to find information on the different =20
combinations of emulation and how and why would be great as would a =20
working flash player like gnash is designed to be.

Thanks,

ed

P.S. Why not ;)  Is there any hope in all this for GoogleEarth?  =20
Probably a very silly question.
