That procedure involves installing software without a trust path (wget $url; dpkg -i $wget'ed_package), which is something we should not propose IMO. > I believe it documented both procedures earlier, and assume the > current one is the prefered one. Actually I would prefer to suggest to use the package from backports.org (so many choices..) if we dont put flashplugin-nonfree in our etch. (Because bpo can be used everywhere. If we suggest to use debian-multimedia, we either should describe apt-pining or tell the admin to research if the packages from there are legally usable in his or her jurisdiction.) regards, HOlger
