noob install help- I'm not entirely idiotic!

[Darby12611]

right, I am totally new to Kubuntu. I just got my wireless working. In the future this will help with other programs too, but right now I want to install Adobe Flash Player. I downloaded the tar.gz file to my desktop. here's the website with install instructions. http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get...9_linux.tar.gz
Even though it has instructions, I'm a total noob! I saved it to desktop, but how do i navigate to it in the terminal?

First place to get software is the repositories, i.e. K Menu > System > Adept Manager. Search for (and install) "libflash-mozplugin" if you want Flash in Firefox, "konqueror-plugin-gnash" for Konqueror, or "klash" if you just want a standalone Flash player.

Check out Kubuntu:Feisty Starter Guide. On that page are instructions for Adobe Flash Player v.9 Firefox Plug-in as well as Adobe Flash Player v.9 Konqueror Plug-in and a lot of other information you will find very useful.
