It worked great for me too. Thanks Thomas for the additional instructions. Last thing: I had to uninstall the Flex Installer after that because it was causing dependency trouble to most apt-get operations.
I simply did the following: sudo apt-get -f install This is the error I was getting: *org.apache.flex.installapacheflex:i386 : PreDepends: adobeair:i386 (>= 1:2.6.0.0) but it is not installable* *E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).* I'll add all this to my blog, and post the URL later today (I hope). Thanks again!
