I think there's a more reasonable way to use linux-flashplugin7, by
using it with linux-[your-browser-here] from ports. IMO THE way surely
is a FreeBSD native version of that plugin from Macromedia.

I can crash or hang native Firefox / Mozilla / Seamonkey &
linux-flashplugin7 in less than 3 minutes. I think the commiters are
smart enough to NOT give everyone the possibility of doing the same.
Unless, of course, you will volunteer to manage the enormous quantity or
up-coming bug-reports :)
