Greetings from a not so new to Linux user,
Gah! I need some help. I have finally found a flavor of Linux that works on my old Mac G4 ~that part is wonderful!!! What I can not seem to do is get, first of all away (far, far away) from Firefox. I will not go into why I loath this program here, I just do. Unfortunately for me it seems that the flavor of linux (yellow dog based on red hat) only allows me to use Firefox. I can not seem to get anything else to work. Well I would temporarily put up with this if I could get a flash player that will run the things I want to do on the internet. I have a flash dependent game I love and I like to look at videos from time to time.
I can not find any way of doing this on the version of linux I have downloaded.
Just so those who answer this know, please state your answers as if I know nothing. Obviously this is not totally true, but I have found that there is always something missing from the explanation that stumps me. So if I must open the terminal, please say so, please also include the exact commands I will need.
To summarize: I have the most updated (package server says so) PPC version of yellow dog running on a G4 Mac. So far I love it, except I can not access a game that requires flash 10. If this is the only thing fixed I will be a very happy camper :dance:
If I can also get semonkey or other simple to use browser onto my Mac to replace Firefox I will be ecstatic. (I do not care for your opinion on Firefox. I seriously loath it for some of the same reasons I loath Windows.) Yes I know Modzilla bought seamonkey, but so far they have not yet destroyed the program and it is still tops in my book over Firefox.
I am very grateful for any help supplied.
