[olpc-help] Still Flash Problems after doing the install

[Jocilyn F.]

Thanks Chih-yu,
I appreciate your help!
The first time I tried to install I indeed did have typos!  Then tried again, a few days ago.  I typed that incredibly long command, got the arrows and downloading message.  I then tried the browser - no luck.  I did a complete reboot-because... well that just seems to be the solution for all problems with my computer-smiles-.  No luck.  I shutdown again and tried multiple efforts at the site.  Still no luck.  I had to put away the XO so not the throw it across the room.
Next night I tried to download Flash again.  The wake site had changed to a "not long" option.  I got the ======>  XO thought for a while, download was successful, about 6 lines of information came up on the screen.  I repeated my performance from the previous night, shutdown,startup, try, try, try, swear, shutdown, startup, try, try, try, REALLY SWEAR, stomp my feet, put away with a great desire the throw XO across the room.  Then got on my computer and begged for help again.
 
Any ideas?
Jocilyn  (anonymous- thanks for your response too.)
