When I do that a pop-up called Archive Manager offers to store the download in the root directory (/). Is this really what should be allowed to happen? This is a very strange "security" step, IMHO. And, if not in the root directory, where should it be put? And then what is to be done to tell apt-get about it? IMHO, the FAQ answer is too terse. Is there a package that I can download and install from the command line rather than using something really opaque for Gnome?
Hi Paul, I've not installed the flashplayer using the mirror, I've downloaded the offical package in Adobe.com, but if you wants to install from the mirror, let's try to resolve the gpg problem, step-by-step: 1. Download the deb package ( http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb). You can save it where you like; 2. Run, as root, the command dpkg -i [downloaded_package]; 3. Run apt-get update 4. Run apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla Regards, Francisco Antônio da Silva Souza Linux User #488128 http://franciscossouza.blogspot.com
