thanks for making the tcz.

although i see little reason for a tcz version of getflash, i generally prefer tcz and realize they can be a pain to get converted properly. even though unmounting and upgrading didn't work the way it usually should, it's very nice that you can unmount them. maybe i'll try tcz-uninstall next time instead of doing it manually. edit: thanks to roberts for making the tcz too, since he's the one that created it.

There was some interest in the forum if I recall for a tcz version of getflash to allow a tcz only install.  And though I vascillate between PPI and tcz, I am in a tcz mood lately.

Hi Jason!

I tested it last night (local time in Sweden) and first it didn't work as also noted in a post above. But how does it really work? Now i have a flash10.tce and flash10.tcz (the last one very small though). They both get installed during boot, so with one am I using? I might mention that I had the flash10.tce there when installing the tcz. It runs fine though so this question is more about quriosity than a problem.

Have fun,
meo

Jason W:
Hi Meo,
There is never a reason to run both a tce and a tcz of the same package.  The tce will overrule in that case as it will overwrite symlinks but not get overwritten by them.  This is to be used in place of the tce version.

Make sure you also that you have one of the flash capable browsers installed first.  Boot with "tinycore base nolocal norestore" and try it again with the appbrowser and see if it works.  I had added the cramfs-utils dependency to the dep file shortly after posting.

the nice thing about this tcz is i seem to have flash10 mounted- that means i can unmount and delete it (cloud mode, or i'd just reboot.) then i can try to install flash9 from the 1.x repo. i realize it's not good to install from the 1.x repo if you're using 2.x, but we're talking about a download script that gets a binary you can't modify anyway.

even then with deps i can tell you how it might not be a good idea, but ever since i started using flash10 in 2.x it's just too damned slow... if flash9 is not as sluggish i'll use that as long as i can. some websites are stupidly requiring 10 these days for some absolutely superficial (cosmetic) features, but most of the ones i care about still only need 9 or later, for now. it would be cool to see flash9 in the 2.x repo, as tce and/or tcz. for now i'll just grab it from the tc website.
