I'm afraid no. Technically it would be simple (we could just use the infrastructure we already have), but there are legal problems that prevent this. *Firefox* is already included in Debian, namely as "Iceweasel". Technically it's the same – you can use every addon and can even call "firefox" to start it –, but since the argument with Mozilla, Debian has to use the other name. You can read the story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceweasel *The Adobe/Macromedia Flash Player* may not be re-distributed, as paragraph 3(o) of the EULA states: http://www.adobe.com/products/eula/tools/flash_paper2.html (hope it's the right one) Even the package flashplugin-nonfree ( http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer ) first downloads the program from the Adobe website before installing it. But thanks for your proposal anyway! Greetings Erik -- Linux User: 499744 Linux Machine: 434256 No need to CC me ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
