How do I install Flash Adobe onto Linux?
I have Ubuntu 6.06 and I’m trying to download Flash Adobe for Linux so I can watch videos. Unfortunately, I am not much of an expert with computers. When I am about to download, it gives me 3 versions of Flash to download. They are:
.tar.gz for Linux
.rpm for Linux
YUM for Linux
Also, once I download, I come to somethihow to use it, there is one folder, another folder in that, and then 2 more seperate folders. Out of those 2 folders, there is one folder in each. One says Flash plug-in, and the other one says doc.
Inside the Flash Plugin, there are 5 more new things, although they aren’t folders anymore. They are set up, READ ME, License, LibFlashplayer.so, and homecleanup.
I have no idea what any of the above is. If anyone could give me step by step instructions, even if it is extremely obvious, I would appreciate it.
Btw, I also only have 99% disc space. If that is a problem, I’ll start deleting as much as I can.
Thanks!

Simple like in windows. Download the tar.gz to your desktop.
Double click and in the window that opens click the EXTRACT button and extract to your desktop.
Now just double click on the installer file that extracted and you have started the installer just like in Windows. Follow the prompts and your are done…
When the install is complete you can send both of those files from your desktop to the trash.
Good LUCK!!!
