Heya Ben,
Netscape 6 installs (as good self compiled packages do) in /usr/local. So
the place to put the plugins in /usr/local/netscape/plugins. Copy flash
there, and while you`re at it, copy any files /usr/lib/netscape/plugins into
/usr/local/netscape/plugins (don't copy over any files that are
alreadythere).
Good luck,
Mike
