Yes, the above flash plugin downloader worked with iceweasel 10.0.12, which I'm posting from now:saintless wrote: Have you tried this one?

First I added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code: Select all
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install -t wheezy-backports iceweasel
Once you download the flashplugin-nonfree package somewhere, just right click on it in Xfe and choose "install/upgrade".
Actually, I needed to also apt-get wget and a few other dependencies since the first install failed saying it needed these, so I just needed to do an "apt-get -f install" command first, which fetches the missing dependencies, before trying again. It seems to be working fine now, though I've hardly tested it much yet. Also, I want to find out where debian actually puts the flashplugin out of curiosities sake...
Youtube playing is using quite a bit more resources (20 to 30 percent or more it seems) than in Puppy Guydog 5.01, however, but similar to most all other puppies. Not sure what is special about Guydog 5.01 - Iguleder does comment something about the Xorg high used. Can't imagine guydog includes any special graphics driver that happens to work for this old machine. Pemasu's older dpup exprimo that uses the same kernel as Guydog 5.01 has similar youtube flash performance to debian light squeeze, so something different in guydog that provides the improved flash performance. Having said that, flash does work well enough, manages fullscreen on this Pentium M 1.6Gbyte non-pae machine at close to 100% CPU. That's normal out of the box for most puppies other than guydog. I'm just checking with top quickly though, and maybe there is something wrong with my measurement. It seems to play smoothly anyway.
Hope you get round to putting iceWM on this squeeze version too; I'm looking forward to that since I imagine I might use this distribution as my main one for a while.
