Many how-to's in the Linux world have matured such that they can somewhat be inherently trusted. Such is not the case in the OpenBSD world. This is a very small project. You are best to stay with information found in the project's FAQ & manpages.

If you are in serious need of Flash, OpenBSD may not be the best operating system for your situation. Some third-party applications such as gnash kinda sorta work, but it is not guaranteed to work with newer Flash versions. To search for what alternatives can be found in the packages/ports system, use the OpenPorts Website:

The tutorial was null, in theory.

All I did was

cd /usr/ports/emulators/fedora
make install clean

then i went to the opera-flash port, installed that and it worked.

the hanging was when trying to install the opera port..



oops, now that I think of it maybe I needed to install the fedora emulator port because opera is linux version?
