[kde-freebsd] Flash on FreeBSD8.2, KDE4 and Konqueror

[Raphael Kubo da Costa]

I hope you don't mind my forwarding of your mail to the kde-freebsd
mailing list; I personally don't have Flash installed here on FreeBSD,
so I can't help much.

If others have suggestions, I'm all open to adding them to the Handbook
and the HOWTO on freebsd.kde.org.
