My apologies. As soon as I posted thisI was referred to another post with exactly what I was looking for. FYI, anyoen who lands here, you open teh :flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg " file and install will proceed as normal.

FYI
Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Cheers, Tom 😉
Thanks, Tom, I'll give that a try BC you're right. My ancient G4 can barely process videos with the fp 10, although it's still better than a 3 year old Dell have 🙂
How do I install 10.1.102.64 flash player? I used Adobe "uninstall," then ran disk utility (all OK). When I open the fp from the adobe archives, it's a zip file that opens lots of sub-files, none of which is "install."
