Yea, but that will only get you flash 9. Flash 10 came out recently and is more optimized. better performance and compatibility
anyway, i brute forced installed flash 10. downloaded the .deb file from adobe and opened with archive manager (kinda like winzip from the windows world) find the flash something.so file and extracted to desktop Alt F2 to open command prompt and enter: sudo nautilus browse to /usr/lib find every folder related to mozilla or whatever browser you use and find the plugin folder. copy and paste the extracted *.so file mentioned then wipe out mozilla's config file to force it to respawn (or edit the config file to create a new profile... sorry cant remember the exact file to edit) firefox should then detect flash 10 On Oct 22, 9:19 am, patmeister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > open synaptic then meta packages (multiverse) and install ubuntu > restricted-extras this will install java and flash player and any other > codecs you may need > > On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 9:36 AM, ATB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I used the "flashplugin-nonfree" as suggested above (its actually > > flash 9.0).
