I am using FreeBSD 4.8 and Opera 7.21. I am not sure if this is a problem, but this is the output of pkg_info | grep opera: linux-opera-6.12.20030305 A blazingly fast, full-featured, standards-compliant browse opera-6.12.20030305 A blazingly fast, full-featured, standards-compliant browse opera-7.21.20031013 A blazingly fast, full-featured, standards-compliant browse I have set the synlinks in the plugins directory, and since that didn't work I also added /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/ to the plugin path, to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? -- yours, William
