Flash 9 for Solaris
I just downloaded and installed the beta version of Flash Player 9 for Solaris from Adobe. They have a sparc and an x86
version, so that meant I could play the Temple of the Sun game from my Toshiba laptop which has SXDE installed on it.
The tarred file for Flash 9 is downloaded to your desktop. Create a plugins directory (if you don't already have one) under the
.mozilla directory and extract/copy the libflashplayer.so file to
this directory. You can extract the file using the standard unzip commands from the command line.(See my blog entry "Zip and Unzip files on Solaris") Or double click on the icon on your desktop and extract the file using File Roller, an open source archive manager for the GNOME desktop environment.
Restart your browser. Type about:plugins in the url location of your browser to confirm that Flash 9 is installed correctly.
