Extract the contents of the archive:
% tar zxf install_flash_player_7_Linux.tar.gz
Change diretory to the top level of the extracted files:
% cd install_flash_player_7_Linux
Optional step for the exceptionally curious: Read the Readme.txt or
Readme.htm files.
Run the installer:
% ./flashplayer-installer
Answer the questions. When you get to the question "Please enter the
installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera browser" enter the
path name of the top level directory in which you have your Mozilla 1.7
installed. For me, this was "/usr/local/mozilla1.72". (By the way, I
trust that if this is a new installation, you're talking about version
1.7.2.)
When you're done, you can remove the installer files:
% cd ..
% rm -fr install_flash_player_7_Linux
Good luck.
