Just getting a 64 bit Mate install going, discovered that flash isn't included with the install. Saw the "Enough" thread,
http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=367
wonder if I should use that instead. As far as I know, all I need to do is get flash working, but if there are other reasons to go with the 64 bit LXDE instead, I can do that.
There's a line that says "ins flashplugin-nonfree," and when I did that (correcting to 'install' for 'ins'), bash said that a "destination file operand" was missing.

Re: 64 bit flash player
You didn't need to "correct" ins -- "ins" is an alias for "sudo apt-get install" -- the alias may or may not be in your .bash_aliases file, so use this to install the flash plugin:
"install" by itself (what you tried to run) is a completely different animal, and not something you need to worry about. When you get errors like "destination file operand missing", you can read the man page for the command like this:
You would see that "install" copies files, so it takes two arguments, and it's used to install files after compiling. It has nothing to do with installing packages.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfreeCode: Select all

First, thanks, the install line worked great.
Also, I've never had something answered that fast! Thanks for that, too!
