Hi BedBug, you're far from a traitor in my eyes. There's no problem adapting
an OS to suit your needs, thats what GNU/Linux is all about. It's a pity
computer users have to take these steps just to browse the internet.
Although there's an easier and less drastic way to install Flash, using
Synaptic:
1) Go to Start > System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.
2) Remove the SwfDec packages completely and the configuration files. You can
use the search facility to find them.
3) Then go to the Adobe Flash site and install the Flash .deb package for
Ubuntu 8.04+. Restart the browser and Flash will be installed.
I think this is the "less worse" option than enabling repositories designed
for another distribution. Just to say I'm not recommending or advocating the
installation of Flash. I currently operate without it.
