Hi After using FreeBSD for a month on a server, I decided to give it a try as a desktop (I'm currently using debian unstable). so I took another computer and installed 4.10 on it (which took a very long time (about 12 hours only to compile 'gnome2' on pentium III 550) but it seems that the result worth the time spent. although there are some minor problems, I'm sure I can solve them. my main problem is with the linux-flashplugin. I installed linux-flashplugin6, and linuxpluginwrapper. both mozilla and firefox recognized the plugin, but they didn't play sound, and the browser just hanged right after I closed the window with the flash movie. then I tried to install linux-flashplugin7 but mozilla/firefox doesn't recognize it, and I can't find any documentation on how to enable that (well, I did find on google that it works with opera...). I found only a few references to these problems on google, but none of them had a solution (does this mean that nobody uses flash with freebsd or nobody's having problems with that :) ). I don't want to install flash5 because many sites require flash6. (and I don't have a windows machine to view them there). any suggestions? thanx -- Haim
