How do you download the flashplayer 9 rpm?


I wen't to adobe's website to download flashplayer 9 for Linux and when I clicked on the link, it started the mplayerplug-in instead of downloading the file. Right clicking on the link doesn't give the option of downloading the linked file.

Has anyone downloaded this file yet, and if so, how did you do it?

I used the tarball. All you have to do is extract the files, cd to the directory created, then, as root:

Code:
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins && cp libflashplayer.xpt /usr/lib/browser-plugins
Restart your browser then go here:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/

and it will tell you whether you did everything correctly. It should show that you have Flash version 9,0,31,0 installed.

The tarball has an installer, but I didn't use it. I looked at it, and it seems to copy the necessary files to the wrong directory on a SuSE system.

This of course won't update the RPM database, so until SuSE has its own RPM, you may get notifications that you need to update to some previous version.
