209398	2004-01-22 22:30:00	Does anyone know how to get the flash plugin working in Mozilla on Mandrake9.2?? I have tried with Mozilla 1.4 and also upgraded to 1.6 The flash plugin is flash-plugin-6.0.79-2.i386.rpm. Have also tried the generic plugin from Macromedia. Any flash sites just crash Mozilla. Thanks	rmcb (164)

Download flash plugin, what the heck, download it from my ftp site, ftp://ilikelinux.no-ip.info/install_flash_player_6_linux.tar 2. Extract the tar file to your Desktop 3. Start up a Terminal. (not super user.) 4.use this command cd Desktop/install_flash_player_6_linux 5. Make shure that you are not in root. 6. type ./flashplayer-installer 7. Follow instructions.	ilikelinux (1418)

The easiest way to get it installed is to follow the second linux link (macromedia.mplug.org) at the macromedia site and get the MDK9.2 RPM. Then at a root terminal, run "urpmi flash-plugin-6.0.79-2.i386.rpm", and let it install the other required library. When its done it will tell you to run /usr/lib/flash/setup to complete the install.	bmason (508)
