I need to install adobe flash player on my suse linux 10.1 to play some games. I've already downloaded it but I don't know how to install. Please, anyone, HELP!!!

1. Go to http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashpla… and click on the "Download Installer for Linux" link.

   Save and extract the FP9_plugin_beta_101806.tar.gz file to a temporary location.

   Open a terminal and su to root.

   Change to the /usr/lib/browser-plugins directory.

   cd /usr/lib/browser-plugins

   Rename the old flash plugin from libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.v7

   mv libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.m7

   Copy the new libflashplayer.so from the temporary directory to the /usr/lib/browser-plugins directory. Note: Your path may very from the example.

   cp /home/user/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins

   Make sure that the file has the group and user both set to root

   chown root.root libflashplayer.so
   chmod 755 libflashplayer.so

   Close down all of the firefox windows that are currenlty open and then launch a new firefox window.

   In the URL section type about:plugins and you should now see that it says Flash Player 9.0 rather than 7.x.

   Hope this would help.
