The 'readme.txt' usually says s'thing like:
==
.
.
o Unpack the tar.gz file. Once unpacked you will see the following:
+ libflashplayer.so
+ /usr
o Identify the location of the browser plugins directory, based on your
Linux distribution and Firefox version
o Copy libflashplayer.so to the appropriate browser plugins directory.
At the prompt type:
+ cp libflashlayer.so <BrowserPluginsLocation>
.
.

You might want/need to put one or more of those two paths, into
/etc/ld.so.conf then run ldconfig : those details might differ a bit for a
'pure' b/lfs build - we use a mix of b/lfs/slackware/&c here.
