THERE IS NOW A LATER VERSION OF THE 10.3.183.x SERIES.
See this thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84267 Try that pet first. If it does not work on your hardware come back here and try the pet below.

I have created a pet for Flashplayer 10.3.183.19 which you can download from:

http://terryphillips.org.uk/puppylinux/pet/flashplayer-10.3.183.19.pet

This version is intended for older hardware which will not run version 11. After uninstalling old version and installing new version you may need to type fixmenus at the terminal to update menu.

If you want the latest version for newer hardware look at the thread here:

Seems to be working on my K6-2 500 machine, movies are of course as slow as one would expect on a computer of this age. Thanks!

Thanks for this one. If it works on my system I may use the Flashplayer files in my other distro(s) as well.

I have an old computer (as you can see from my sig) and I've had no end of trouble trying to use the latest version of Flash on my computer.

Cheers,

CP .

Weeble

Yes, I'm still using Puppy 3.01 with retro kernel 2.6.18.1--hey, it's worked, even though it's becoming more problematic due to all the lincrap that's worked its way into the system.

Some time ago, (a year or more?) I updated Flash Player on my system, installing the whole tarball (including some files I hadn't installed before), and it hasn't worked since. Its presence isn't even recognized. I battle with Major Depression, which majorly (pun intended) messes with my ability to get things done, so I haven't been up to giving my system a real troubleshooting so I can get Flash working again. I didn't worry about it for a long time since I could download YouTube videos via Zamzar.com, but now Google's put the kibosh on Zamzar doing that.

As best as I can tell, it's the Flash 11 version from May 11, 2011; I'm running Puppy on an old (like 10 years old) generic clone using an Intel EB800 (PIII) processor, 512MB RAM (maxed out). The only browser I'm able to get working on it presently is a portable Opera 11.11.

What I'd LIKE to do is find what Flash files really need to be there (and whether Flash 11 works under this version of Puppy at all), purge what's unnecessary (or even delete 'em all and put the necessary files in place from the last version of Flash that'll work with this version of Puppy and this computer so it'll be a clean install). I don't know if this has been previously addressed (and due to the mental issues, I'm not up to protracted searching). Would someone be so kind as to either help me thru this or else point out the specific posts (if they exist) for fixing a farkled Flash Player install? Thank you so very much.

the _only_ file you need is libflashplayer.so - I use the last 9.x often, but the 10.3 version is better if you use Seamonkey/Firefox. On really low spec systems where the browser + plugin is too much, you can download the swf/flv files and play them in the standaolone gflashplayer (v6.79 uses gtk1 and <20mb of ram) or flashplayer ( 10.3.x gtk2 version <50mb ram) - no browser needed
