How do I install flash player 10 for Debian Lenny?

[Lights]

I have read tons of articles on how but none work. I have edited the source.list file with what they say and I have used all the terminal commands that are becoming very repetitive. None have yet to work... any help?

Thanks much.

Which command did you execute to install Flash plugin? Post the contents of sources.list file here.

On my Debian Lenny, I did as follows:

1. get the 32bit or 64bit FlashPlayer .tar.gz archive from adobe.com
(if you run a pure 64bit version of Lenny, the 32bit player will not run right away)

2. in the directory .mozilla, create a new subdirectory "plugins"

3. copy libflashplayer.so from the archive to ~/.mozilla/plugins/

4. restart IceWeasel/FireFox

That did it for me.

You can also install it using your package manager if you enable lenny-backports in your sources.list.

No. Adobe only provides flash for x86 and x86_64 architectures for linux.
