Hi Everyone,
I've figured out by myself a simpple way to install the flash player plugin for my firefox browser, so i post the solution because i didn't find anything SIMPLE ! I made this on ubuntu 8.10 but i gess that would work with other versions.
Firts launch a terminal in your Applications > Utilities (or accessories).
Then type : sudo synaptic
this will launch the synaptic package manager giving it the rights to install packages.
Enter your user password.
Then in the search field type "flash"
You will see a flashplugin-nonfree item > check the item
A popup window will ask if you accept to install dependent packages
> Accept the install.
When it's finished, close your browser, then restart it and... tada... you have your flash plugin !!
Hope than will help other beginners like me...
