I didn't have any suitable plugin.  I realised that, but google gave me the 
wrong name of the package, which is why I failed.  Although it doesn't explain 
why the adobe repo failed to install their flashplayer.

I hadn't seen that particular page.  I've bookmarked it for the future, 
thanks.  This box normally just acts as a file/print/mail server - I don't

years and this is the first time I've tried to use it in this way.

Thanks for answering
