LinuxUser01:
I have downloaded firefox-get as DOWNLOAD ONLY, and it has placed it into tce/optional as firefox-get.tcz. This is my first time trying to run a script on TinyCore and i have tried getting into that folder and running it from the terminal with no success. If there is anybody that has executed this script can you please assist me, thanks.

Hi welcome to download only method of APPS

now once it is downloaded, it is not loaded

so load it with and last line to execute it (as non-root please)

--- Code: ---tce-load -i firefox-get
firefox-get

--- End code ---

good luck

and yes you have chosen the correct option as this is an infrequent script to run so does not belong in your onboot.lst

LinuxUser01:
The script ran fine, i chose 24.0 and local. I edited the preferences in Firefox and saved then rebooted. Came back from the reboot and the preferences are still saved. So thats a good thing. Looks like i have to open terminal and type wolf for Firefox to load instead of just the icon from the wbar. That shouldn't be an issue, i'm sure there is a way around it to make an icon in wbar and load it somehow. You did a great job with the script. Thanks.

Another thing, i haven't got around to using flash yet since getflash11 isn't in the Apps Browser for TC 5.0. Not sure how users have got Firefox and flash working in TC 5.0. Not even sure if its going to work since the loading of firefox is totally different from the regular loading with this script.

Hi
no need to open a terminal
click on run wbar icon
type wolf and press enter

2) no need to use getflash*
download flash from adobe, unpack it for the so file and copy (not symlink) the entire file into the plugins folder

I have not tested this, as I know the adobe plugin is very old

good luck

3)  When I can get a LXDE (eyes blinking must be smoke in the room)
then I can see about a local wbar desktop entry
but not now as I  am busy with other things sorry

LinuxUser01:
I'm guessing .tar.gz for Adobe Flash 11.2.202.310 is the one that i download instead of the other options. I'm looking for the plugin folder through /home/tc/ section and can't seem to find it. The file name that its going to download is install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz.
