Hi,
I tried to install the Flash player from the Adobe website, but for one reason or the other, it won't download - seems more like a server issue on their end than something on mine (all other downloads work great).
So then I tried to install it via apt-get, but the same thing occurs. It attempts to download, and then gets stuck at that stage.
I ctrl-c to stop it, and go about other things. But I notice any time I use apt-get to install *anything*, it re-attempts to install flash player in the process, again freezing it up.
So two questions, I suppose:
1) How can I get apt-get to stop trying to finish this, and
2) Is there any other ways to reliably install the flash player?
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
