Thats to unpack the file isn't it? I can extract it or what ever thats called on here i dunno how to install it though. I have 'flashplayer-installer' and 'libflashplayer.so'. What do I do with that to install flashplayer?

Edit. Oh I clicked the installer and chose to run it in terminal and its installing :)

Well linux is weird. Like everything is done through terminal and idk the crap. Like in windows to get to a file you do

CD C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\file

In terminal Idk where I am, or where I start at. Ok i'm trying to do this thing with python to set this up. It says to install this..

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

To install the package, run the following command:

python setup.py build

then (with appropriate permissions)

python setup.py install

But I go into terminal and type that and it doesn't do anything. It says python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

holy shit dude. When you open up terminal you are at your "home" directory (/users/home/, /home/, depends) if you save the file to your desktop then when you open up terminal type "cd desktop" then you are at your desktop, then go from there, but DO NOT TYPE cd /desktop OR ELSE shit will happen. cd is the same as cd in windows, ls is the same as dir

cd desktop gives me and error but
cd Desktop works.

I told you I'm a total newb with Linux.
