If you are using a Mozilla browser, you first need to copy the linux flash plugin into the mozilla plugins directory: # cp %%LOCALBASE%%/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so \ %%X11BASE%%/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer_linux.so # cp %%LOCALBASE%%/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class \ %%X11BASE%%/lib/browser_plugins/ Next, change the Mozilla startup script, %%X11BASE%%/bin/mozilla to have: LD_PRELOAD=%%PREFIX%%/lib/libflashplayer.so.1 export LD_PRELOAD at the top of it (but after #!/bin/sh). Now start mozilla and go to 'about:plugins' and the flash plugin is enabled!
