I am having difficulties installing flash into opera (it told me I need
to upgrade. I download it, upack it, and am asked to provide the
instalation path. I think this is noproble; i merely have to find where
the program is, /bin, /usr/bin, or one of those. So I type in 'find /
-name *opera* -print' and up pops a few things: the most promissing of
wich is /usr/bin/opera to which it responds it isn't a directory.
/usr/lib/opera
not a directory
/usr/bin
enter a valid path
/usr/lib
enter a valid path
/home/bmike1/.opera <----I KNOW this is a directory/why isn't it valid?
enter a valid path
/usr/lib/mozilla
enter a valid path
So tell me.... what should I enter?
