How to install Adobe flash?
Hello all, I am new to Linux and Puppy but so far have really enjoy experimenting with Puppy. My question is can someone walk me through the step of installing Adobe flash player?(or any app for that matter). I downloaded the Adobe tar. file but after that I became lost as to what to do to make it work. I am booting from a usb zip drive. Thanks in advance for any advice given. John

Here's the manual way, if you want the latest and greatest ... well, if Flash can be great and I guess not.
1) Download this.
2) Extract it (you can use Xarchiver for that).
3) Take libflashplayer.so, put it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. That's the directory for Firefox/Seamonkey plugins, but today's browsers are smart enough to look there.
4) If you also want the crappy configuration tool, install it too (copy all the contents of the archive except libflashplay.so) to /.
5) Restart your browser.
6) Cheers.

The best Flash (I mean, the least annoying one) is the latest. I never install if from PET packages because I know I'll want to update it once the next version is out, while nobody makes packages (since there's no need to).
