Adobe version

Has anyone tested version 48? I had had some trouble with it. 31 was more stable. --Walter 16:15, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

Yes, I've only tested this last version on a B4: very little video frames per second and the audio skipped a lot, when i tested youtube and google video.--HoboPrimate 21:36, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

Could you document what you typed in the command line to get the rpm of version 31? When I tried it, it looked like 31 was no longer available? Thanks --Tomhannen 18:22, 11 December 2007 (EST)

31 may be available in the bundle of older versions for which I provided a link on the Adobe Flash page. I've had a copy kicking around that I've been using. --Walter 18:49, 11 December 2007 (EST)

31 does not seem to be in that bundle from Adobe. Not sure where to get an "official" copy from. --Walter 18:52, 11 December 2007 (EST)

Lockdown

The inclusion of the {{OLPC}} tag is not intended as a lockdown; rather is it intended to assure our gentle readers that this page is vetted by OLPC. --Walter 18:49, 11 December 2007 (EST)

Apologies, I realised after I wrote it, and attempted to revert.... Clearly it is vetted carefully! --172.159.48.223 20:13, 11 December 2007 (EST)

Java installation

There does seem to be an eager community wanting to get java and java apps onto the OLPC.

As a linux/olpc newbie, I'd appreciate a bit more detail in the Java install instructions. Heck, a self-executing script would be swell.

In any case, a couple of clarifications might be that First you copy the bin file from Sun's site to a PC or something and THEN you copy it over to your OLPC device. I spent a while wondering whether I was supposed to create some sort of .xo bundle. OR maybe I am, and that's still why it is not showing up as a plugin and why when I type "About:" into my browser I get an error message talking about a .jar.

Second, I'd think it would be mighty nice if we have an explanation of where to install or upload our own java programs to run on the OLPC. If I figure it out on my own, I'll post it, but I betcha someone already knows all this and can explain it in terms so simple even a Java/Windoze hacker can understand.
