FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE amd64
>Description:
The Handbook describes how to install and use Opera on this page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html
Unfortunately that page fails to mention that in order to make use of the
Flash plug-in with Opera, one has to first mount the "linproc" thingy.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install Opera and the associated flash plugin and then try to visit a page
containing some flash content. It won't work until you mount the linproc
thing.
>Fix:
The Handbook page mentioned above should describe what has to be added to
/etc/fstab in order to get the linproc pseudo-filesystem mounted.
