There is no flashplayer dsl.  Licensing restrictions apparently forbid redistribution.  Download the player from macromedia.com and extract the *.so file into /opt/.firefox_plugins

Thanks!  I extracted it in home and moved it into /opt(libflashplayer.so) but I don't know how to get into firefox plugins.  Permisssion denied.  I see there's no "paste" function.

"mv  /opt/libflashplayer.so  /opt/.firefox_plugins/" (note the dot and the trailing slash)
If this doesn't work,
"sudo mv  /opt/libflashplayer.so  /opt/.firefox_plugins/"

Can't get it to work.  I can install dsl ok but I've never messed around with the file system.  Mandriva and Xandros is what I use mainly  so this quite unusual.  Anyway I have libflashplayer.so unpacked on the left side and /opt/firefox/plugins showing on the right side.  Whenever I try to move or copy I get "permission denied" on the bottom.  I guess it's moot anyway.  When I try mplayer my cpu usage is so great that it freezes.  That's what I wanted flash for.  I reinstalled dsl and will forgo flash.  Thanks for the help.
