Dear all
I have linux installed on my pc, i have downloaded flash player on my pc as a .gz file. idont know how to install it can anybody help me in downloading flashplayer.
Thanks in advance.

You extract the files from the archive and then run the installation script. There are even instructions on Adobe's website that tell you what to do: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashp...ons/#section-3.

In short, "installing" it means just copying the .so file (libflashplayer) to a directory where your web browser searches for new plugins when you start it. Then if the plugin works with your browser, that's it. This basically what the installation script does: it assumes a location where plugins should be put, then copies the file there.

Edit your profile information and add there the distribution of Linux you are using. This makes it easier to answer your possibly distribution-specific questions. For example on Ubuntu this procedure could be done even more easily, and probably on a few other distributions too. Without telling which distribution you use we can only give general, maybe not-so-easy-to-follow instructions, and if you only mention the distribution in your nth post, it's difficult to find later on -- so just add that information to your profile.

Adobe has a yum repository, so if you use a YUM based distro, just downlaod "http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm"
