I ended up uninstalling flash because it was too annoying and I didn't really need it on that system. More recently, I set up a system with flash and it works fine except that in YouTube I often have to refresh the page to get the video to load. For some reason the player doesn't seem to initialize when I enter the page, but reloading it always works ok. I suspect most of the problems people are having with Flash 10 have to do with lingering old libraries or something like that. A brute force rebuild of all ports might fix them. Also, pay attention to the correct make.conf settings for the Linux kernel stuff. -- -- Bob Johnson
