Install a Linux version of Firefox ( www/firefox-bin in pkgsrc) and a If you install the packages required to do Linux emulation, you can then I'm not sure why - I really thought computers wereĪny one of the following may work for you: Complete Linux emulation Suggest that they work perfectly for some people, only partially for others andįor some not at all. these methods seem to be very hit and miss. Don't get your hopes up until you've tried them, though There are a variety of different ways you can try to get Flash to work inįirefox under NetBSD. Here I discuss getting Flash to work in Mozilla Firefox: Supported, so if you want to use Flash on your NetBSD machine you have to do aīit of tinkering. ![]() The Flash browser plugin - originally made by Macromedia, who were subsequentlyīought by Adobe - is available only as compiled binaries for a small number of Everything below was correct to the best of my knowledge at the time I wrote it, but the current state of affairs could be very different. NOTICE: It's been about 5 years since I tried to get the Flash-Firefox combination working in NetBSD. Getting Macromedia/Adobe Flash to work in Firefox The solution is to install the pkgsrc package devel/py-readline, which adds vastly improved editing abilities to the Python interpreter, including the expected "command line history". It may come as a rude shock when this doesn't work straight away on NetBSD and you appear doomed to retype long lines of code to fix small typos! If you've used the Python interpreter in interactive mode on any other Unix, you're probably used to being able to use the up and down arrows to scroll back and forward through the different lines of code you've typed so far, just like in your shell.

If you can't find an answer to your problem here, hit Google or ask on the mailing lists.įinally, my number one NetBSD tip: enjoy using it! Quick links If you can't find the solution to a problem you are having here, I recommend you check out Mr Eriksson's NetBSD FAQ (another page similar in spirit to this one but much older and more thorough), or perhaps the NetBSD Community Wiki (which is a bit younger than this page, but will probably become a pretty solid resource over time). Credit will be given for all contributions. If you think something here needs to be updated, expanded or corrected, please send me an email. It is entirely possible that information on this page is out of date, incomplete or flat out wrong. ![]() When using this page, follow the golden rule of getting Unix help off the web: Don't run commands you've never seen before without at least taking a cursory glace and their man page and convincing yourself that they do indeed do what you want! This goes double for commands that need to be run as root. This page is a collection of various tips, tricks and fixes I've discovered over years of using NetBSD which help make a user's life easier.
