That is something perplexing The easiest way to do this is to make sure you have multimedia and non-free repositories enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list. For instance: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free multimedia deb http://debian-multimedia.org testing main deb-src http://debian-multimedia.org testing main Edit that file (sudo first) and if it needs to be changed, save/quit the file, then run sudo aptitude update, which will resynchronize your local copies of repository contents. Then you can do sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree sudo aptitude install flashplayer-mozilla as well as any other things that consensus says that you should have to get this to work. If you're new to debian, it's probably better to install the debian version of the package (if available) than to try installing it on your own. There probably are exceptions to this, but in general it insures your box is still debian, rather than a mixture, and that any new updates to those packages will automatically install when you do an upgrade later. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
