It isn't something they can fix on their end. |

You didn't mention what browser you are using, but assuming it is |
| 16 |
firefox does the flash plugin show up when you go to "about:plugins"? |
| 17 |
If not, then somehow it is not installed or not installed correctly. |

Another possibility is that they are using flash version 8 or higher, |
| 20 |
which had no linux version until a few weeks ago. In this case you |
| 21 |
may try unmask the beta of netscape-flash-9.x with "echo |
| 22 |
'=net-www/netscape-flash-9*' >> /etc/portage/package.unmask". I |
| 23 |
haven't tried it, but have seen reports of memory leaks and browser |
| 24 |
crashes that are attributable to this. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Another option for flash8 compatibility is to install the windows |
| 27 |
version of firefox and flash under wine. I have done this with some |
| 28 |
success. |
