Maybe the Wheezy ones didn't work for me.
I just did a new installation of Wheezy, installed just HAL, and installed flashplugin-nonfree. 4oD is working. Whether usably remains to be seen, because it is running on a rather old and slow machine. This week I am going to try this (install Wheezy, install HAL, install flashplugin-nonfree) on my TV machine, and will again report back. Provided that I can find a no-rugby day. I can't put the machine out of action on a rugby day. Lisi
