We need to know first if Larry has a successfully running Debian

I think Larry needs some help to modify his sources.list file to
include the non-free repository. I know any Debian installation I
have
done does not include the non-free repository by default. Once he
has
that done he can use synaptic to update and then retry to install
Flash
from there.
So, Larry: there should be a file /etc/apt/sources.list on your
Debian computer. This file will have the ftp and http addresses your
computer uses to find the software that is prepackaged to run
correctly
on your system. Can you find this file?
The non-free part is not required because the flashplugin-nonfree
package is inside the contrib part. (As it is written inside the
wiki!)
With kind regards,
