"Don't install it." isn't a valid option.
Sure it is. The fact that it's an option you don't want to accept doesn't make it invalid.
I also take issue with the "well use a supported OS" schtick. I will tell Adobe to provide a FreeBSD-native release, though it would be nice to know I won't be the only one. I'm actually going right now to do so. Who's with me?
Actually, you're starting down a well-trodden path. Many people have already asked Adobe for a FreeBSD-native release, and Adobe has never seen fit to do so. The FreeBSD desktop market is apparently too small to make it worth their while. That's a perfectly valid position for them to take, no matter how much we might dislike it. And "Use a supported OS if you want Flash" isn't a schtick. It's eminently practical advice, from people who have tried but don't see any way the situation on FreeBSD is likely to change. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
