(Not that we don't all make a mistake in missing something.)

Follow THAT link, which is where (using Either Konqueror or Mozilla under
SuSE) I see a page with two links leading to Player 9.

If I click on "Get release versions of Flash Player 9*" which takes me to a
page where step number 3 says:

3. Unpackage the file. A directory called install_flash_player_7_linux will be
created.

Ditto if I click on "Flash Player Download Center" further down the page the
same page comes up with install_flash_player_7_linux.
