The plugin works fine now, but i still have one more question regarding flash 
player. Does the linux-flashplugin7 port really require linux-base ? I don't 
relay like the idea of installing linux-base and the linux kernel module, and 
I've installed linuxpluginwrapper , I've tryed to manually extract the 
libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt , place them 
in /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins , make the required settings 
to /etc/libmap.conf ... and what do i see ... it's working. So is it really 
necessary the dependency on linux-base ? 

Commenting out USE_LINUX=yes in the port's Makefile does the job, and the 
plugin keeps working fine. If it's required could it be a OPTION ? ( i don't 
like the idea of installing files that are not managed by a port either )
