Slashdot Mirror

Apologies accepted, and sorry for being harsh but I have been hit by that behavior many times here on slashdot....

Adobe already has separate installer for IE (ActiveX in browser installation) and the traditional .EXE installer for other browsers. Introducing and XPI will not remove the need for an EXE installer (other NP plugin based browsers need it) so you are right about the extra burden.

Adobe has a license for redistribution but is restricted to intranet cases, or public but only using physical media (adobe installers without modification), but they had made exceptions before Warren Togami used to package then in RPM format with Adobe permission, before they started their own yum repository

Tips and workarounds for using Flash (especially on Fedora) and avoiding crashes are updated frequently on this site. I follow all the latest patches of nspluginwrapper and firefox upstream to give people the latest advice. (Note: You need the new nspluginwrapper-1.1.2 in order to avoid the most common crashers of Flash 10.)

I think your linux box should be good to go with this??

For Fedora Core users you can go to this website: http://macromedia.mplug.org/
It has the required yum repo file that you need to install the flash-plugin with yum.
Quick howto:
$ wget -v http://macromedia.mplug.org/macromedia-i386.repo
$ sudo mv macromedia-i386.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
$ sudo yum install flash-plugin

Restart Firefox for the plugin to become active.

If you already have that repo file installed you can upgrade the flash-plugin with:
$ sudo yum upgrade flash-plugin

Thanks Adobe. Hopefully we'll see a 64bit version soon.

Older version not supported by MacroMedia

Linux x86 (1) (2) Flash Player 6 for Mozilla 1.1
http://macromedia.mplug.org/

(1) Not officially supported by Macromedia.

(2) These Linux packages (RPM, DEB, ebuild) are available for manual download, apt-get, urpmi, or emerge for these supported operating systems: RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, Conectiva, Debian, Gentoo, Generic.



Server Slashdotting starts in 3...2...1... =]

Try the rpm package from this site. I haven't tried SuSE, but on Mandrakelinux, the rpm post install script detected the right directories to install to.

It's also available as packages for all major distributions from here..

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong.

This is what really happened to them.

(That's a link to a 5MB mpeg, please be gentle, mirror and post a link!)

(Google for heist60.mpeg if above if slashdotted)

Maybe they were just replaced with a Linux server.

or you could just download the Macromedia Flash Player 6 for Linux/Mozilla:

The idea of smoothwall is really cool. Is there software like that that I could install on a Redhat 9 machine? I have a system which I want to use as both a workstation and my firewall. I really like the remote administration functions of smoothwall, so I'd like to use that on the Redhat box. I'm currently using Monmotha's IPTables script.

I agree. The only concern I have over freshrpms.net is that it is solely maintained by Matthias. He does a great job but I'd feel better if I had access to a repository maintained by a Debian-like community. That's why I think Fedora may be the future. It's still immature so I'm sticking with freshrpms for now.

I personally ordered two Opteron servers this week. I plan on building an e-mail server and K12LTSP server using modified Red Hat Linux. My findings of success/failure when I figure out AMD64 Linux quirks will be posted to AMDMB.com in the coming weeks. (Also check out our Athlon Linux forum.)

From the AMD64-list discussion so far, there are only a few details:

* Kernel and all applications 64-bit compiled. This includes support for the larger memory address space and 16 registers. (SPEED!)
* AMD64 Linux *can* run 32-bit applications, unfortunately you would need 32-bit shared libraries that were not included in this technology preview. They said that they will be included in a possible future shipping distribution. I personally will try to research how to find/build these 32-bit shared libraries for myself, although I suspect it will show up on amd64-list soon enough.
* Existing 32-bit closed source programs like Macromedia Flash plugin 6.0 for Linux may work with 32-bit shared libraries, but not while running within 64-bit compiled Mozilla. You would need 32-bit compiled Mozilla. Bummer.

Hi, I am the maintainer of the Macromedia Flash Player RPMS for Linux. The RPM packages have been updated a few days ago, available in apt and urpmi repositories for various Linux distributions.

The site has instructions for Gentoo and Debian Linux installation too.

I am wondering if anybody has any experience with MASM, especially attempting to run it on any DOS running within a virtual machine. I am trying to create an easy platform for Linux and Mac students in my class in order to learn ASM without the need for Windows (grader will only test our project assignments in MASM).

http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/bb/viewtopic.php?t=2
I had attempted to run MASM on FreeDOS running on the Bochs Pentium Emulator in Linux, but it crashed. You can read about these problems at this address.

I am not fully understanding about the capabilities of MASM in FreeDOS, especially within a Bochs environment. I suspect that Bochs or FreeDOS cannot support some features that MASM needs, or some of the coding requirements needed for my class this semester. I realize this question is a bit vague, though I would appreciate any insight into these problems.

Alternatively, would there be any other 99.9%+ MASM compatible assembler that is free or Linux based? What problems may I run into with the other assemblers?

Somebody else had mentioned trying DRDOS because that has become free (beer or speech?). Does anyone have any experience with DRDOS and MASM instead? Where can I get this?

Here's one cool though unrelated screenshot of Bochs running the Win98 Installer in Linux. Bochs isn't nearly as fast or stable as VMWare, but it is free and Open Source, and runs on other platforms like PowerPC.

Your network setup sounds to be nearly identical to mine. I made this custom script here based upon an earlier Starcraft NAT iptables script that allows me to play Starcraft on Battle.net with full capabilities between my Wireless and Wired NAT segments.

Edit that script to match your own network setup and run it after your iptables firewall script. I personally use MonMotha's iptables script. I wrote this little guide here in setting it up. http://www.mplug.org/phpwiki/index.php?BasicFirewa llRouter

I use MonMotha's IPTables script to build my firewall. You tell it which ports to leave open and it closes the rest. It also has stuff in there for rate limiting and stuff, I think. According to that page, the beta does port forwarding.
