Install Flashplayer on Debian Etch

You should be able to install from Backports:

$ apt-get -t "etch-backports" install flashplugin-nonfree

If this fails, then leave it installed and manually download from Adobe:

• http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux

Then extract contents and copy libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/. The failed install should have created all the necessary symlinks.
