OK, there could be 1 of 2 problems...
1. Your system doesn't have the tar program
2. Tar doesn't appear in PATH or PATH not setup correctly
Login to a shell session as root, type whereis tar
if tar isn't found it will return something like 'tar: '
if tar is found you should see something like 'tar: /bin/tar '
If tar is found then go back to your directory containing the flash installer tar file, and type
/path/to/tar -xvf install_flash_player_7_linux.tar-1
obviously replacing the /path/to/tar with the output from the whereis tar command.
