My flash is running on slitaz too!

I was just saying that flash is not possible in my previous post and not even one hour later, I manage to install flash on slitaz!

After searching the internet on this, I found this to be really helpful. It seems some of the methods works for some people and some work for others. I wonder what makes the difference.... hmmm...

Anyhow, below are the steps I took:


1. Download: ftp://ftp.ch.xemacs.org//pool/2/mirror/slitaz/packages/cooking/get-flash-plugin-1.2.tazpkg

2. Open a terminal and su to be root:
# su root

3. go to the location where the file was downloaded:
# cd [fullpath_where_file_is]

4. type the command "tazpkg install get-flash-plugin-1.2.tazpkg". In my case where I had made earlier attempt and had installed it once, I need to append "--force" (without the quotes, of course) at the end of the command. Just to be clear, I did:

# tazpkg install get-flash-plugin-1.2.tazpkg --forced

5. Once the installation is done, run the command:
# get-flash-plugin

6. Open the browser (I had also installed firefox 4, apart from the default midori), and it works on both!

:)

Finally my mkv video file is running on slitaz!

It has been a while since I had the chance to work on my slitaz machine...

And since today I had some time, decided to find out if I can:
1. Play flash
2. Play mkv files (like what I was trying to in my previous post

For (1) the sad truth is that it is not possible... or maybe I have not tried hard enough. But after reading http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/slitaz.html, I have decided to stop since at the end of the installing flash segment (and I quote):

"However, neither did this help. Flash was not meant to be."

So, then, moving on to task (2). Did another google search and this time, I came across this topic on slitaz forum: http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/304/help-cannot-play-video-files-on-slitaz/p1 (I wonder why I did not see this earlier... :( ... )

Anyhow, I followed the instructions to change the video driver to X11 instead of default xvin the mplayer preferences.

Voila! it now can play my mkv files! yay! :)

Reading up on DNSSEC...

I have been reading up on DNSSEC to improve on the current implementation of DNSSEC and found that the blog below has quite a good write-up.

Just logging the links here so that it could come in handy in the future:
