Setting up FreeBSD 4.8 as a desktop station

[Jason Williams]

Hello everyone.

I'm pretty new to using FreeBSD as a workstation, but im very excited to do so.
I've installed FreeBSD 4.8 and used CVSup to update both my source and 
ports tree.
I've also installed portupgrade to update my ports to make sure I have a 
nice clean setup.

I have Window Maker setup and working correctly.
I just have a few questions that I wanted to ask on how to get a few things 
running.

Basically, I want to get mozilla-firebird up and running as my browser. 
However, i'm a little confused on what I need to do as far as java and 
flash are concerned.

So what I was hoping is if someone could point me in the right direction on 
how to get mozilla-firebird, java and flash setup and working correctly on 
my desktop.

If more info is needed, please let me know.

Cheers,

Jason
