just browsed tombuntu site at http://tombuntu.com/ and read "Test Drive Adobe Flash Player 10 Beta 2 in Ubuntu".

Here are the instructions from that site:

"Here’s an even easier way to test out Flash Player 10 Beta 2 in Ubuntu 8.04:

1. Remove any previous versions of Flash. If you installed it from the repositories, this is not necessary because the package you will be installing is a newer version.

If you know you installed Flash manually, see Adobe’s instructions for manual removal on Linux.
2. Flash 10 will be included in the upcoming Ubuntu 8.10 release, and has already been packaged. You can install this DEB package in Ubuntu 8.04 by downloading it manually.

Download and install the DEB package from the page below; scroll down to the downloads section and select your CPU architecture and a mirror:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/flashplugin-nonfree

3. Restart Firefox to load the new version of Flash."

The plugin worked on Firefox 3.0 and Opera 9.51. Iam using hardy 8.04.1 amd64

I had flash 10 beta1 installed from Adobe.

Problem is BBC website checks for flash version and when it sees flash 10 it errors with "you have the wrong version". So no flash on this site.

I've since gone back to flash 9 and am waiting for flash ten to be fully released.
