Gnash is a noble effort. Gnash sucks. I want choice, and my choice isAdobe Flash. Installing Gnash screws up Flash. Right now, I can refuseto update GNOME on Squeeze any further, but the time will come when thatwill not be a viable option. Why does GNOME require Gnash? And whatcan I do to put a stop to it?
