Hi Beech,

Thanks I installed skype-1.4.0.118 this morning by following your very =20
simple and excellent instructions ( because they worked ;)on 7.0-BETA1 =20
FreeBSD7.0-BETA1 #405: Thu Nov  1 07:58:06 CST 2007 with =20
linux_base-f7-7 and compat.linux.osrelease=3D2.6.16.

Nice, a totally different user interface.  No if I could just get =20
flash working I would be a happy camper.  All the other linux =20
emulation that I'm interested in works fine except of course =20
GoogleEarth.

Thanks for the port, if not I would never have tried it.
