Flash faq update

[bigpcman]

Perhaps the FAQ referenced by the tinycore home page should be updated to restate the "flash" support situation for tc2.0.

How to get flash working?

Short answer: see the getFlash9.tce extension.

Long answer:
Flash 10 has such steep requirements, it is not supported on TC. The last working version was 10 beta 2, but due to the beta nature of that, using Flash 9 is recommended.
Don't use Adobe's installer, copy libflashplayer.so yourself to your browser's plugin folder.
To have sound in Flash using OSS, you need to copy libflashsupport (included in OSS.tcem) to both /usr/lib and your browser's plugin folder.
There are two variations of the library in /usr/lib/oss/lib, one only enabling OSS sound, the other enabling that and also playing flash over SSL. You need OpenSSL for the second library.
depending on if you have OpenSSL loaded and need to use flash over SSL, pick one of the libs, and copy it to both /usr/lib and your browser's plugin folder, and then rename it to libflashsupport.so in both places.

Requirements: Flash 9 requires GTK+-2.

Indeed, there should be a mention for now stable TC 2.0.
