Updating flash player manually for Precise Puppy 5.7.1
Goto http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Download the "rpm" version then, use PeaZip to Extract the Mozilla plugin(libflashplayer.os)
from the "rpm" version pack.
Find the libflashplayer.os which is at Mozilla/plugins and replace it with the new one.
And install the "rpm" version.
That's it.

I am using tahrpup-6.0.2, not Precise but my comments are relevant I think.
Neither XArchive nor PeaZip produced the stated results.
Xarchive did not unarchive the .rpm.
PeaZip did but the filetype was .cpio, When I did have success installing getflash (see below), I found the file has an .so extension, not an .os

You needed to open the cpio with PeaZip to get the libflashplayer.so.PeaZip did but the filetype was .cpio
I noted: this was with Precise Puppy 5.7.1 because I know Distos can and do differ.
Some will not take the "rpm" : I just put it out as something that could be tried.
I should have noted "always back-up your set-up before playing with it"
