Using Scott's suggestion, I installed linux-firefox and low and behold, 
flash didn't work but there was an opportunity for windows like 
technology that asked if I wanted to download and install the plugin, 
so at this point, I said yes and it immediately downloaded and 
installed the plugin and flash begin to work.  Now I have to see about 
linking in my mplayer plugin and look at pdf although I have an idea 
they may not work.  Thanks, Scott,
