ferretboy,

I am brand new to Linux (just downloaded Knoppix last night) but I think I can help you get Macromedia Flash to work on your computer. Here's how I did it:

1. Download the Flash Player here: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...ShockwaveFlash

2. There should be an install .tar file in your home directory called install_flash_7_linux.tar.gz. Verify it's there and continue.

3. Open the Konsole terminal program and type this: tar -xvzf /home/knoppix/install_flash_7_linux.tar.gz and hit Enter. NOTE: You may not have to type all of that - after you type knoppix and the forward slash (/), just type the letter "i" and then hit the Tab key and the rest of it will complete by itself.

4. Step 3 basically extracts the files you need to install Flash Player and creates a folder. Now you need to change directories to get to this new folder (directory) by typing this in the terminal: cd install_flash_player_7_linux/. (Try the Tab key shortcut again after typing cd and then the letter "i".) Hit Enter and type this: ./flashplayer-installer and hit Enter. Again, you can use the Tab key shortcut after typing ./f

5. Follow the prompts in the terminal.

6. Go to nhl.com and see if it works.

If you have any problems, I found the information here (section 4.5.1.2): http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/html/lnag.html#2.19.How%20do%20I%20upgrade%20a%20Linux% 20distribution?|outline

Good luck,
