The Flash plugin is distributed by Adobe in *binary form only*. Adobe does not provide a native DragonFlyBSD plugin, but there is a Linux plugin which you can use under Linux emulation. Linux emulation software is installed from *pkgsrc* and is tested to be working fine on x86 Platform. The steps are
-### Install *multimedia/libflashsupport* from *pkgsrc*. This will get you all packages needed for Linux Emulation.
+### Install *multimedia/libflashsupport* from *pkgsrc*.
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/libflashsupport
# bmake package
-Currently the Linux Emulation package installs software from [Suse 10]( http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.opensuse.org/discontinued/10.0/suse/i586/) distribution. You could see the list of packages installed using pkg_info.

# pkg_info |grep suse
suse_openssl-10.0nb5 Linux compatibility package for OpenSSL
suse_aspell-10.0nb2 Linux compatibility package for aspell
suse-10.0nb4 SUSE-based Linux binary emulation environment
+### Configure Linux Support
+
+ # echo "linux_load=yes" >> /boot/loader.conf
+ # echo "linux_enable=yes" >> /etc/rc.conf
+ # echo "proc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
+
+Reboot ( not necessarry but easier for new users ) DragonFly so that Linux Emulation is loaded to the kernel and configured correctly.
+
+### Install *www/nspluginwrapper*
+
+This willallow DragonFly to use the Linux Binary Flash Plugin
+
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/nspluginwrapper
+ # bmake package
+
+### Install *multimedia/ns-flash
+
+This is the Linux Flash Plugin itself.
+
+ # cd /usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/ns-flash
+ # bmake NO_CHECKSUM=yes package
+
+You can check if the Flash plugin is installed right by.
+
+ # /usr/pkg/bin/nspluginwrapper --list
