   The command get-flash-plugin when called from the command line all you get is a list of:
   "wget [OPTIONS] ....URL" error message on the screen.
   I then tried to download Adobe Flash player from their site. I download the last rpm version.
   I converted it with the "tazpkg convert filename.rpm" and I did get the file with the tazpkg ending.
   Finally I "tazpkg install filename.tazpkd", some process was done and it said that the installation was sucessfull.
   However when I go to YouTube to watch a video it tell me that I need to download Adobe flash player.
   I am running Slitaz 3.0, using a laptop; Acer extensa, I tried this with seamonkey and firefox. None work.
   I'm new to Slitaz. Can somebody help? Thanks

   I get the same error as you describe if I install wget from repo.I will assume this is your problem.
   There are differences in command options between wget in busybox which all tools and scripts in slitaz are written for and standalone wget from repo.
   When wget is installed it takes over and the scripts and tools fail.
   The get-flash-plugin script and tazpkg will only work with wget in busybox.

   Post install message from wget install:
   wget is in conflict with the busybox wget.
   You'll have to re-install it after each busybox update.
   If you want to use the busybox wget, do (as root):
   ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/bin/wget

   Remove wget and post remove will autorun ln-s /bin/busybox /usr/bin/wget
   #tazpkg remove wget
   #get-flash-plugin

   Or try:

   # sed -i 's/if wget -s/if busybox wget -s/' /usr/bin/get-flash-plugin
   # get-flash-plugin

   Thanks for your prompt help. Yes now it works. So far I like Slitaz very much. It needs more documentation offline.
