Re: flash / iceweasel / all that
I've searched around and couldn't find an adobe-flashplugin package. Which repo is it from? I'm using the flashplayer-mozilla package from the Lenny repo at www.Debian-Multimedia.org and YouTube, etc., works great for me. Ah, sorry. It wasn't from a repo ... I went to Youtube, clicked the link that read upgrade to the latest version, was taken to adobe.com where I downloaded the *.deb, installed it with dpkg, etc etc. I will clean out all Flash - related stuff I have and try the the repo you suggest, maybe I will have better luck. There is an irony in my posting this at all, one that I don't like: I'm one of those Flash is the scourge of the Internet types. I shouldn't care about this AT ALL, but I just got tired of my browser bursting like a bubble so on ...
