The Flash Player downloaded from the Adobe site is the following file:
install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz
There is a readme.txt file inside the archive which states:
Unpack the tar.gz file. Once unpacked you will see the following:
+ libflashplayer.so
+ /usr
o Identify the location of the browser plugins directory, based on your Linux distribution and Firefox version
o Copy libflashplayer.so to the appropriate browser plugins directory. At the prompt type:
+ cp libflashlayer.so <BrowserPluginsLocation>
o Copy the Flash Player Local Settings configurations files to the /usr directory. At the prompt type:
+ sudo cp -r usr/* /usr
However, when the command
cp libflashlayer.so <BrowserPluginsLocation>
is executed at a root terminal it gives the following output:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
I also manually copied, as a superuser, the file to the folder
/home/knoppix/.mozilla/extensions/a folder under this
So where am I going wrong?
