Here is a script that someone helping me with pulp linux (puppy 4.12 
based)  made to get Youtube to work with Flash 9 instead of 10 - something 
to do with javascript.  I don't know if changing 9 to 7 will make sites 
work with Flash 7 instead.  Pulp linux comes with Flash 7 because it is 
2MB (Flash 9 is 8MB and Flash 10 is 12MB).

Steven, could you try it out with Flash 7 at Youtube?
FLASHLOC should match where you put libflashplayer.so
You said Flash 7 was the last version to work with gtk1.



   BTW I made a script that will make flash9 work with YouTube and most other 
sites if you'd rather.
