Have you tried installing the flash player with Firefox? It should install into /home/dsl/.mozilla/plugins.  It doesn't matter that it doesn't already exist...directories that start out empty are just wasting space.

well then, I'd say try extracting the plugin into .mozilla/plugins, creating that directory if necessary.  Since it's not a distro-specific binary, you could also copy it from another distro if you have it installed elsewhere.

Another workaround you could try is to simply add a symlink from wherever your flash files are located to /usr/local/firefox/plugins in the xinitrc file.  I just did this as I couldn't get the plugins to work properly either, and now they work like a charm.
