Sometimes I try to give all the facts but I'm told that my messages are
too long... mainly given that when you're asking a question you don't know
exactly what's relevant or not.

Also, had I know that the file was saved to the /tmp directory, I could
have made my question much clearer, but then, I would have no question. To
me, the downloaded tar.gz file had just disappeared.

Given a random name... I checked with the real name. Is this what is meant
to be a safety feature so that you're not just fed a hack? How efficient
is this considered?

Sorry. When I read: "You should have also noted that *after* you download
there is a link to the installation instructions...." I thought you meant
it wasn't there *before*.

I forgot to answer this question:

>>> How did you install in August?  Only you can answer that.

The 64 bit version has to be installed by moving the libflashplayer.so
file to the correct directory.
