I just upgraded to Mozilla-1.3_1,2 and attempted to install flash 
plugins for the first time.  The following instructions were taken from 
section 15.2.2. Mozilla, Java, and Shockwave Flash of the FreeBSD 
Handbook.  I installed flashplugin-mozilla-0.4.10_2 but had some 
difficulty following the instructions.  I was unable to locate 
libflashplayer.so, and ShockwaveFlash.class.  Are the instructions 
current?  If not, please advise.  Thank you.

  "...install the www/flashpluginwrapper 
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/www/flashpluginwrapper/pkg-descr> 
port. This port requires emulators/linux_base 
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-descr> 
which is a large port. True that other *flash* plugins exist, however 
they have not worked for me.

Now copy the *flash* plug-in files with:

# *cp /usr/local/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so \
    /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer_linux.so*

# *cp /usr/local/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class \
    /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/*

Now add the following lines to the top of (but right
        under #!/bin/sh) *Mozilla* startup script: /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla.

		LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libflashplayer.so.1
		export LD_PRELOAD

This will enable the *flash* plug-in."
