Re: Flash: Broken link
Hi, Yes as this is the development version of the new 11.0 release, adobe removes it as soon as a new version is released. As Adobe release RC1, beta2 is now gone. I believe, the new slackbuild is in ready and should be out at the next public release, (provided Adobe doesn't release RC2 by then at which point the new one will not work again):-P Now why people cannot leave stuff in place, I don't understand, but it is not an adobe specific problem.

I've copied the flash plugin to there (and, BTW, I've found that to do so, it works). But then a removepkg flashplayer does nothing. (instead, you must go to the folder and remove the flashplayer). So, **it depends upon what you want** (as to a whether or not a slack pkg is needed). Go slackbuilds admins and contributors and thank you very much for the(Continue reading)

There isn't any need to, however that logic can be extended to all SlackBuilds/packages. Any way, the package will also contain something called "kcm_adobe_flash_player.so" which I gather is for KDE4, and the flash-player-properties binary along with several other minor files. The package makes it easy to install/remove all of this. However if you're more comfortable doing it by hand then you may as well just drop the .so in ~/.mozilla/plugins with each new version. -- -- Erik Hanson
