Download the gzipped file (flash_linux.tar.gz or whatever this version happens to be named) At this point I usually copy the tarball to /usr As root, I Cd to the directory the file is in (in my case #cd /usr) and unpack it with the command: #tar -xzvf flash_linux.tar.gz the command is: tar -xzvf the_flashplayer_tarfile_name A directory /usr/flash_linux will be created. Inside that directory will be two files --libflashplayer.so & ShockwaveFlash.class Copy these two files to your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory (and to your /usr/lib/netscape/plugins directory if you use Netscape) Now, when you open Mozilla, the Help>about Plug-ins list will have Shockwave Flash. It should work for you (always has for me)
