Thanks anyway, Kristian.  Have you actually gotten Flash 9 to install that
way on Ubuntu?

BTW, to go back to the question of why did I use PClinuxOS, it's because
Flash either worked right out of the box; or it was so simple to install
that I don't even remember how I did it, because it was so straightforward.
I'm not saying that PClos is better than Ubuntu, I'm just saying that that
one piece of end-user love was firmly in place from the beginning.     ;-)

see ya
