Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): /usr/lib/mozilla

WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path.

Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,

you need to find the exact path where mozilla is installed and type it in. My path is /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.3 and thats what I'd have to type in the flash installer.

if you want to know where is mozilla installed open a console and type 'whereis mozilla' and you get the directories where you can find it.

It's in /usr/lib/Mozilla. This is where the Program is
installed. the /usr/bin reference is the executable (or link)
that is put in your path to start the program. the man pages
are imformation pages. If you navigate to /usr/lib/Mozilla
you will see the plugins directory inside. That is where
the two flash files will go. If the installer doesn't work,
you can always just extract the files and copy them
manually to the plugin's folder (you will need to have
root permissions to do this)

have fun....and it's a good idea to kind of get an idea
of where your distro puts things generally...it will
follow a pattern. If you are installing your OWN
software I recommend always installing in /usr/local.
That way you are nice an tidy and can always find things.
