Super you got it running. PS, I had to do that as well... rm /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/fp7_archive.zip From full original instructions: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-January/165920.html Updating your ports (with portsnap or the cvsup) when trying to fix problems is always a good idea. Sometimes when everything seems busted the portupgrade tool can be helpful in rebuilding all your ports. Set it running before you go to bed, and ta-da, in the morning everything is working -- or completely broken :) Rudy
