I followed the instructions at < http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=18628 > but am having difficulties with the installation.

What do I type for the installation path of the browser? I opened Aterm as a super-user. I tried /usr/lib/mozilla as suggested, but it didn't work, and there's no such directory. /home/dsl/.mozilla, /home/dsl/.mozilla/firefox, and /home/ramdisk/home/dsl/.mozilla/firefox didn't work either.

Did you try to open, then close the browser before trying the flash installation - I seem to recall I did this and then the install found the directory on its own.

Don't be root and Robert's directions should work (notice he specifically said "As user dsl"). The installer is intended to install the plugin into the proper directory in your home.
