I have only seen at the std output that the command has downloaded the flash. When I executed the command as you suggested, I get as below ` ` ` ` flash-mozilla.so - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so - priority 50 /usr/lib/lightspark/liblightsparkplugin.so - priority 0 Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so'. ` ` ` ` Though I have seen somewhere that chrome now a days shipped with inbuilt flash player for better performance.. but here I need to install it separately. Any ways the browsers are running well now :-) @Hugo - flash-mozilla.so points to the libflashplayer.so -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
