Still does NOT work!

I also tried deinstalling all stuffs, which were installed in the previous sessions.
And then I tried installing them again as followings (excerpted from handbook).

emulator/linux_base-f10
www/linux-f10-flashplugin10
www/nspluginwrapper
# ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/
% nspluginwrapper -v -a -i (normal user)
# mount -t linprocfs linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc
www/opera (native FBSD)
www/opera-linuxplugins

Again, it still does NOT work!
(Note that only missing from the previous session is ``kldload linux'',
which was loaded at boot time.)

Or the problem is that I cvsup(ed) from 7.1 to 7.2 and then csup(ed) to 8.0.
Some libraries are probably not updated???
But ``make install'' success, so libraries should not be problems.
I don't know.

FBSD should make it simpler than this.
Some Linux distros, flash plug-ins are installed in default configuration.
But I shall not go back to Linux, anyway. :-)

Actually, I only want to study Unix console, C language and some administrations.
In GUI world, I only want to point and click.

Thanks,
