Yahoo Maps Using Flash and tiled maps

[David Niergarth]

Hi Steve,

Yes, you can run Flash on FreeBSD (via Linux compatibility). I'm using 
FreeBSD 5.3 with linuxpluginwrapper-20050320, which includes 
linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_2. My coworker in the next office is using 
FreeBSD 5.4 and linux-flashplugin-7.0 and he sees the same problem. As 
soon as the page loads, the browser freezes to the point that we have to 
kill the process from the command line. The linux-flashplugin is shared 
by all my Mozilla-based browsers, which implies it's the plugin that's 
the problem. Other FreeBSD users out there be warned -- all five of
you. ;)
