> A bit off-topic: For some reason, none of the methods I used in the past for installing Flash Player for previous versions of Debian work in my freshly installed 4.0r5. I usually download the tar.gz from adobe. Neither epihany nor iceweasel seem to see the plugin, even though the plugin was copied correctly to the mozilla plugins directory, so there seems to be a larger problem at hand. I will figure it out when it becomes a priority and some related posts start appearing on forums. It isn't urgent at all and I can still boot my older 4.0r3 when I need flash or sound to work.
