Configuration steps for enabling Linux compatibility, necessary for using Flash Player made for Linux. Work in progress, steps:
For custom, non-specific linux package and up to date setups, we may be able to do without the following packages: linux_base-f10, or linux_base-gentoo-stage3
linux_base-c6 might make it easier to install; complete instructions if there are more than the configurations below. Still a trial and error processes to figure it out. Got it to work in the past, either I forgot exactly how to do it, or the way to do it changed.
[edit] /etc/
/etc/fstab
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 #possibly the two below fdesc /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
/etc/rc.conf
linux_enable="YES"
/etc/devfs.conf
link /tmp shm
/etc/sysctl.conf
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
[edit] /compat/linux/
/compat/linux/ should have at least the following sub-directories: etc/ lib/ proc/ usr/
% cd /compat/linux/ % mkdir etc/ lib/ proc/ usr/
/compat/linux/etc/yp.conf
domainname mydomain.com # this is your network's domain-name without localhost ypserver localhost # my.yp.server

[edit] Flashplayer
The Flashplayer library file belongs in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/.
The easiest way to install flashplayer is to compile the package linux-c6-flashplugin11:
/usr/ports/www/linux-c6-flashplugin11 make install clean
This should install other linux-c6 dependencies.
Run the following for a library plugin to be found by firefox:
nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
Or to upgrade from a previous installed Flash plugin:
nspluginwrapper -v -a -u
