The only > link I had to create by hand was for Java. The reason I recommended removing everything as root is that there could be an old version left from an old version of flash. For example, if you have 9.0r151 and 9.0r152 both wrapped in different directories, both will be picked up, which confuses firefox -- and you probably still have the vulnerability that was fixed with the upgrade. If there is just one wrapped version that all users link to symbolically, you just have to remember updating that after a portupgrade and everyone is up to date again. Of course, if you are the only user of your computer, keeping the wrapped versions in your home directory makes sense, too -- just avoid doing both. Cheers, Jan Henrik
