UNESCO SchoolNet resources

[David Leeming PFnet]

Hi Rob,

I am still a bit new to this, can you let me know how to access and install
downloads? I tried downloading Adobe Flash for instance. It appears on the
left vertical bar of the Gui frame but nothing happens when I try to select
it. I assume it is downloed into the file system, but where, and then how to
install it? Sorry if some of what I am asking is standard Linux beginner
stuff.

  Try installing Gnash to play Flash movies. If a particular movie fails to
play, please file a bug report at:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gnash and we'll get on it. For video,
you may need to use my builds of Gnash
(http://www.gnashdev.org/olpc) that have ffmpeg included, which you need for
video codecs.
