So, for giggles, swapped out linux_base-f8 with linux_base-f10 only to find
that linux-f8-flashplugin10 doesn't work.

The idea here, doesn't work for me, (or $luser error issue) so I installed
linux-flashplugin9.

Results: video without sound. Fix below (nasty hack) and npviewer.bin still
needs to be killed.

After doing the following:
/usr/compat/linux/lib#cp libssl.so.6 libssl.so.5
/usr/compat/linux/lib#cp libssl.so.0.9.8g libssl.so.0.9.8b
Video and sound work again.
And yes, I know I could have used ln -s but I tend to prefer cp with notes
in my system-admin file, saves busted links after update.
