    Hope it's okay if I join this thread.  I'm also new to SliTaz, ANY linux for that matter.
    I'm reasonably computer literate but not Linux literate yet.
    I also need to get the flash player installed and tried the above link.
    What I got back was seven lines of:

    wget: bad address 'mirror.slitaz.org'

    I checked and rechecked my typing.
    Any suggestions?

    @Newbie : Open your SliTaz "Package Manager" and goto the tab-box "Configuration". Checking on "Mirror URL" box and if you (use SliTaz 3.0) see add-url http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/3.0 something like this, change that add-url to http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/3.0/ and click "Setup" button x1 and click "Add" button x1 and "Exit". You must be connected to the internet to install the software packages.

    Looks like you just added the "/" to the end which it already had in my system (yes,3.0).

    Still not working.

    But thanks

    Hi,

    Try this in a terminal (sometime it's simpler from command line than using a GUI...). As root, install a script and then install flash, we do not provide a full package because flash is not open-source:

    # tazpkg get-install get-flash-plugin
    # get-flash-plugin

    If it dont work (it should realy work), you can download flash from adobe site, extract the archive and copy or move libflashplayer.so to your personnal hidden directory: ~/.mozilla/plugins

    If you want to make this installation available for every Slitaz user and not only the current one, you should also copy the libflashplayer.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/firefox-[version]/plugins (where [version] is the version number of your installed Firefox browser).
    Please do not forget to modify the owner and group of the file at every place in /usr/lib where you copy it:
    su
    (password of "root" account: "root" also if default)
    for dir in "/usr/lib/mozilla" "$(ls -d /usr/lib/firefox*)"; do cp -a libflashplayer.so "$dir/plugins" && chown -c root:root "$dir/plugins/libflashplayer.so"; done
    exit
    --Babaorum

Howdy, Stranger!
