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!
