Posts: 2 Registered: 2011-04-30	This is more of a request than suggestion. I'm impressed with CTKArch, but would like to be able to add Flash for listening to music on Amazon Cloud or watching Hulu or YouTube. I understand not wanting to add weight to CTKArch, but would it be possible to make an "add-on" package with Flash? Or is it my ignorance that keeps me from installing Flash? Either way, thanks for CTKArch. I used it to fix my son's malware infested Windows XP computer. (I had to reinstall XP, but at least with CTKArch I was able to save his files). UPDATE Please ignore the above. I found that I could go into Arora and that would let me download Flash, then I extracted libflashplayer.so, made a directory (~/.mozilla/plugins) and copied libflashplayer.to there. Flash works fine now. Now I can give CTKArch a real test. Thanks again.

Also i don't want to create a new thread just to ask this one question, so i'll do it here instead. I'm a bit confused over how to update the system, should i use pacman or yaourt and what is the proper command to use, is it yaourt -Syua as the ArchWiki says or what is the best approach? TIA and great work i love this setup and been using ArchBang lately!

See here about updates : ctkarch.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5&t_id=17 [edit] Flash is not necessary to read youtube/dailymotion/vimeo videos as of now. Update ctkarch and enjoy HTML5 in Midori!
