<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi John,<br><br>That seems helpful. I looked in the Synaptic package manager, and flash player 10 is there along with Flash player 9. Is it possible to remove 9 from there, and then install 10? And is the command you gave to install 10 as it is written or do I have to specify what package?<br><br>Claire.<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 6/8/09, John5342 <i><john5342@googlemail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: John5342 <john5342@googlemail.com><br>Subject: Re: [Sderby] Installing flash player 10.<br>To: "South Derby LUG General Mailing List" <sderby@mailman.lug.org.uk><br>Date: Monday, June 8, 2009, 3:42 AM<br><br><div class="plainMail">2009/6/7 claire spencer <<a ymailto="mailto:claireflur@yahoo.com"
