How do you install 'flashplayer' Macromedia Flash Player plug-in on Opera linux?
Did it in the past but because I hardly ever have to use linux terminal, I forgot how to do it.

Here are the instructions:

Adobe Flash Player Download Center Linux (x86)

Installation instructions
.tar.gz installation

1. Click the "Download .tar.gz" link. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
2. Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
3. Unpackage the file. A directory called install_flash_player_9_linux will be created.
4. In terminal, navigate to this directory and type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer. Click Enter. The installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).
5. Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser. To verify, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.


I am stumped at step 4.
I forgot how to navigate to that directory in the terminal.
The rest of the instructions were no problem.
Putting this Adobe plug-in on Firefox linux was no problem, it installed with no problem.

Not using Linux but in Opera->Tools->Advanced->plug-in should give you the paths to folders.
It's a bit different on linux, you have to use the Terminal (kinda like DOS) for this plugin. Other than that it's pretty easy and automatic to add programs onto linux.

What "distro" are you using?
Ubuntu 7.10
I did it a long time ago but forgot how because you seldom have to use the Terminal anymore.
