This LiveCD problem also applies to the Gnash plugin... In the FF plugin
installation dialog, if I choose to install the Gnash plugin instead of
the Flash plugin, I get the error message "Can not find 'mozilla-plugin-
gnash'". This happens on a Gutsy LiveCD.

The command line that is executed is "/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/apturl
apt:mozilla-plugin-gnash?section=universe". But the Universe repo is not
enabled by default on the LiveCD...

If I manually enable the universe repo in the Software Sources config
dialog and let it update package info, the Gnash installation succeeds
(at least when running that command from terminal).

I wonder how this is intended to be fixed for Hardy? Will Gnash be
included in the main repo and on the LiveCD (that might make sense, but
OTOH Gnash seems unable to display Youtube so this "solution" won't work
for many people). Or will the plugin installation dialog offer to enable
Universe repo if it required? To summarize: what is the "big plan" for
flash support in Hardy?
