Thanks for the warning, James.

Upgrades.

Done! (Man, that was fast...)

You know, there's no reason that Adobe couldn't have a ton of experimental versions with known exploits laying around, specifically to let people take over your computer. Not saying they would! But there's no reason they couldn't, and it would look like an innocent mistake on their part Like a poison in two parts, where either alone is innocuous.

flash updater script

keep updated always

just un compress it then
and click on flash-updater

it asks if you want to install click ok
it take a few minutes because it downloads the file then installs it in the background
when its done a box pops up for 3 seconds and says its done

hope this makes it easier

Didn't download the latest version, it redownloaded 10.3.183.7 so maybe the site just doesn't update flash all that quick. Also it might be a good idea to or whatever the command would be since it does no good in there anyway and just takes up space.

?! You'll want to explain that one, most of the time (in other distros, for example) you probably would not want to do that...

sorry I put the / there by mistake i mean to put which would delete the usr folder from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder, I think.

dpup wow you mean we still ahve the old one then?
I felt so happy that now I have a patched version but if I get you
we still ahve the old one? So what to do?

perhaps just to be sure? that way if you're not in the right folder, it (probably) won't delete anything

I suppose but if you take a look at the script it already changes to that directory so that it can download and install the lib in there and then delete the tar'd file so there should be no need for writing out the whole path though it couldn't hurt

Edit: just modified the script and tested adding in underneath line 13 does the trick

I missed that part, gotcha now.
