Flash 10 doesn't work for me

[Tyler Aviss]

I was the one that originally brought it up. Once you unpack, try
putting the "libflashplayer.so" in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins instead.

Also make sure to remove existing references in there to flash or
nspluginwrapper.

Worked for me on 8.10, but 8.04 should work similarly I'd imagine.
