Now that Gnash is part of OpenBSD 4.1, this diff updates FAQ 13.11
to add Gnash as another option for users who want to use a Flash
plugin with their web browser.

I have also replaced "Macromedia" with "Adobe".

Please feel free to edit/revise my diff.

Thanks,
Lawrence

+OpenBSD provides two options for you to play Flash files.
+You can either use Gnash from the ports tree, or the proprietary Flash

+
+<h3>Using Gnash from ports (for architectures with shared libraries
+only)</h3>
+
+Gnash is a Flash movie player that can be used natively with
+Mozilla-derived browsers such as Firefox.
+It is only available on architectures with shared libraries.
+If your <tt>PKG_PATH</tt> environment variable is set correctly
+(see <a href="faq15.html#Easy">FAQ 15</a>), you can install Gnash
+as follows.
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+# <b>pkg_add -i gnash</b>
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>
+If the Gnash package is installed correctly, the Gnash plugin should be
+listed when you type "about:plugins" in the URL bar of your web browser.
+
+<p>
+<b>Note:</b>
+Gnash is still under heavy development by its authors, and may not work
+with all Flash movies.
+
+<h3>Using the proprietary Flash plugin from Adobe (i386 only)</h3>
+
+The Flash plugin is distributed by Adobe in binary form only.
+Adobe does not provide a native OpenBSD plugin, but there is a Linux
 plugin which you can use under Linux emulation.
 This plugin is available only for the i386 platform.
