    this is the way i did it yesterday in linux class, red hat 7.3

    when i downloaded the file is was in a .tar.gz extension the 1st thing i had to do was "expand" it or what ever the linux term is. did this in a command prompt by using gunzip -x (i think is the switch) "file"

    after you get the .gz taken off, the tar is left lol, i used the ./"file" and it extracted it and asked me for the installation location for the browser which for me was /etc/lib/mozilla

    dude

    $ tar xzvf flash-player-installer.tgz

    tar xzvf will unzip and untar a tgz file

    $cd installer

    then
    $./installer

    or whatever the latest installer file is called, then read the directions.
