   Hi there everyone!
   I've recently downloaded and installed Slitaz 4.0 stable as unique O.S.
   Tried to install flash player in order to watch online videos, and did, but it does not work. Video sites still telling me I need to install flash.
   What can I do?

   Adobe dropped support for their flash player except for Google Chrome. Interestingly enough, the google chrome plugin can be used with Firefox and other browsers by simply renaming the file to the right name.

   This is what I've done in creating my own flash-plugin package and it actually includes this file instead of downloading it from Adobe's site: http://www.trixarian.net/downloads/flash-plugin.tazpkg

   Just double click the flash-plugin.tazpkg file. The installer program should pop up in SliTaz 4.

   It opens the nano terminal. I realy like this os. Nice and fast.
   I need java that works with pogo and I have that. Just the flash.

   flashplugin-nonfree that will work with movies and stuff.

   I got flash installed. I added libflashplayer.so by way of opening terminal and nano and adding it to /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.7/plugins.

   Well I did a reinstalled and now I can't install flash.
   And when I double click http://www.trixarian.net/downloads/flash-plugin.tazpkg
   It just opens don't do anything but there is a object by the pointer but then it
   stops.

   I'm running 3.0

    Just use SliTaz 4 or stop over-thinking and use tazpkg install flash-plugin.tazpkg from a terminal to install my file.

    And fyi, the plugin file needs to be in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ like a proper google search would have told you...

    error writing /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ no such file or directory.

    Slitaz 4 will not boot up.

    tazpkg install does not work on the movies I play.

    So I'm either stuck doing it this way or back to my
    Debian 6.

    Do not mean to make you mad. Things just are not working right.

    ooseven:
    1.) Einstein said "Make something as simple as possible, but no more". My package is as simple as I could make it. If you can't be arsed to learn how to use tazpkg install or install SliTaz 4 to get the auto-magic installer then it's not my problem but yours. You can't be an idiot if you can use and install Debian. So why are you so brain disconnected with SliTaz?

    2.) SLITAZ IS NOT BASED ON DEBIAN OR ANY PRIOR LINUX DISTRIBUTION - IT WAS MADE FROM SCRATCH. I typed it in caps in hopes it finally sinks in for most people. There is no nonfree-flash package since we do not follow Debian's packaging standards. I didn't write http://mirror.slitaz.org/doc/en:guides:read and make it a sticky post in the forum as http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/please-read-this-before-posting for nothing.

    3.) If didn't read my post on how to get the real Java instead of IcedTea, then please don't turn around and ask how to install it in every thread you can find. I started to mark the question as spam for that very reason. Search the forum for the answer, actually read what's written and if all else fails, Google it. SliTaz actually requires some effort on your part to be effective. That what makes it like Arch Linux in many regards.
