I hope you rest can enjoy it too.

In case anyone (like me) likes to pore over the code as you follow along, don't miss the extra space (2 of them) between the md5sum and the install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz on this line:

 echo "93b7c48eaa492237b807a3ae1de65cf9  install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz"

Thanks, Jeroi... worked like a champ.
