Questions about macromedia flash player

[A.O.Q.]

Does somebody have any idea how i can get this installed? I am using mozilla 1.5 (I think) and Knoppix 3.3. i downloaded it from macromedia's page but I still can't visit certain sites.

Are you running Knoppix from the live CD or is it installed on your hard drive?

[A.O.Q.]

I'm still using the live c.d. i also tried knoppix>utilities/install flash player with no success.

i think it might be better if it knoppix was installed onto ya HD

You can install it manually by extracting the archive, then creating a ~/.mozilla/plugins folder if one doesn't already exist, and copying the two files flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Restart Mozilla, check Help > About plug-ins and Flash should show up.

Umkay. You lost me after extract the archive. I went to a plugindoc website and downloaded flash player for linux x86(I think) After that I typed /flash-installer, or something to that effect at the command line, but it came up as an error. Could you please break down you're instructions step by step al little more because i don't know how or where to extract the archive from, i don't know where to put the /.mozilla/plugins file
