Dumb newbie question: can't install Adobe Flash Player

[BeatCrazy]

I set up my 2.3 mini tonight. It's my first Mac, but I have iPhones/iPads/etc.

Going to Youtube, etc., Safari tells me I need to install Adobe. I get that. When I'm taken to the Adobe page to install Flash Player 10.3, I click on the link to install, and nothing happens.

Sorry for the dumb question. Yes, I know Steve Jobs wants to choke Adobe

Yep, that's where I've been going. Nothing happens when I click on the links to download. Nothing at all in the Downloads folder.

I know I can download stuff, because I downloaded Rember.dmg just fine. It's still in my downloads icon. But no Flash.

I promise I'm not computer illiterate!

I click on the link for Get new Flash Player 10.3 >, and the page in Safari just refreshes/takes me back to the same page.

I do have it working, now.

You have to select the beta version of Flash, like this:
