I suggest installing Ubuntu 9.04 from a LiveCD session and then following these instructions to install Adobe Flash player:

http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-9.04

Steve,
actually it shouldn't be an issue by installing directly from Adobe.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79126

But before that, every other or older version of flash app should be removed to make firefox uses the newest version.

Well, it took me a while....
but 9.04 is in and Adobe 10 is very nice.

thanks a million.
Nice simple instructions :-)

Thank you....

How did you do the install?? Did you download it from the website, then
you can use sudo dkpg -i package-name to install it otherwise, synatic
should take care fo the dependencies here.
